The LED light connect IC and control circuit to make setting, changing, adjust of the said at least one of (A) LED(s) colors, brightness, on-off, duration, cycles, frequency, sequential, flashing, color changing, color selection, auto changing, or other LED light effects, (B) Air flow related parts to get desired speed of rotating fan or blade, on-off, duration, timer, countdown timer, or other desired air flow related function(s); by at least one of (1) trigger system, (2) switch, (3) sensor, (4) motion or moving or radar sensor, (5) IR or RF remote control system, (6) power fail sensor, (7) built-in Auto-Off-On or multiple selection positions switch, (8) other related LED or air flow or air-freshener or fragrance or essential oil diffusor parts or accessories; wherein the LED light connect with (i) AC power source by prongs with or without folding features, (ii) DC power from at least one outside transformer, power bank, DC power from cigarette-plug, USB related DC power source, DC power storage device, solar module, or DC generator.
LASER PHOSPHOR ILLUMINATION SYSTEM USING STATIONARY PHOSPHOR FIXTURE
A laser-excited-phosphor light-source system in which a phosphor plate remains stationary while a laser beam is made to scan across the phosphor plate. In some embodiments, the phosphor-plate assembly includes a plurality of areas each having a different phosphor substance that emits wavelength-converted light in response to excitation from the scanned laser beam and/or a diffusive material. In some embodiments, one or more rotating prisms and/or one or more rotating or oscillating or angularly displaced mirrors are used to deflect the input laser light on the way toward the phosphor plate and to deflect the wavelength-converted and/or diffused light in the opposite direction such that the output beam of wavelength-converted and/or diffused light remains stationary with respect to the phosphor plate as the input laser beam is moved across the surface of the phosphor-plate assembly.
Light-redirecting window covering
A window covering for natural illumination of building interiors by redirecting the incident daylight at angles that promote its deeper penetration into the interior space. The window covering comprises an optically transmissive, flexible polymeric sheet having a layered structure with a light diffusing output surface and a number of total internal reflection surfaces incorporated into its material. The total internal reflection surfaces are dimensioned such that the multi-layer sheet diffusely redirect at least a portion of light towards a direction which is generally not coincident with the incidence direction.
CONTROLLING OFF-STATE APPEARANCE OF A LIGHT EMITTING DEVICE
Systems for apparatuses formed of light emitting devices. Solutions for controlling the off-state appearance of lighting system designs is disclosed. Thermochromic materials are selected in accordance with a desired off-state of an LED device. The thermochromic materials are applied to a structure that is in a light path of light emitted by the LED device. In the off-state the LED device produces a desired off-state colored appearance. When the LED device is in the on-state, the thermochromic materials heat up and become more and more transparent. The light emitted from the device in its on-state does not suffer from color shifting due to the presence of the thermochromic materials. Furthermore, light emitted from the LED device in its on-state does not suffer from attenuation due to the presence of the thermochromic materials. Techniques to select and position thermochromic materials in or around LED apparatuses are presented.
Recessed light-emitting diode lighting fixture
A recessed lighting fixture comprises a generally annular body having a central cavity in the form of a partially spherical socket. There is a lighting support member having a partially spherical exterior portion which is closely fitted within the partially spherical socket of the annular body. The lighting support member is pivotable relative to the annular body, but air flow between the partially spherical socket of the annular body and the partially spherical exterior portion of the lighting support member is substantially restricted. There may be a light source mounted to the lighting support member adjacent a bottom thereof. The light source may be a light-emitting diode.
LED ARRAY WITH LIGHT INTENSITY ADAPTIVE LED SIDEWALLS
A first LED with a first LED sidewall is disclosed. A second LED with a second LED sidewall facing the first LED sidewall is also disclosed. A first dynamic optical isolation material between the first LED sidewall and the second LED sidewall and configured to change an optical state based on a state trigger such that a light behavior at the first LED sidewall for a light emitted by one of the first LED and the second LED is determined by the optical state, is also disclosed.
Suspended LED Fixtures having Adjustable Cord Support
Apparatus and methods for deployment of fixtures. The apparatus may include a system for controlling deployed fixtures. The system may receive user commands different devices in different formats. The fixtures may be independently addressable. The fixtures may be magnetically supported by a fixture support. A brace may join two or more fixture supports without reducing space available to support fixtures. The brace may join a fixture support to a fixture support accessory. An accessory may include a variable-angle junction. The fixture may include articulating joints for controlling the direction of a beam. The fixture may include a lens having an electrically controllable beam spread angle. The fixture may be stowable in the fixture support. The fixture may be slidable along a cord to adjust a height of the fixture. The fixture may include an extendable ring. The system may coordinate motions of the fixtures to follow a target. The fixture may include an elongated board. The elongated board may include a non-polar power socket.
Illuminating face protection device
An illuminating face protection device, including a main body to be worn on a head of a user and protect a face of the user, a top illuminating unit disposed on at least a portion of the main body to emit a first beam of light and illuminate a surrounding area, a first side illuminating unit disposed on at least a portion of the main body to emit a second beam of light and illuminate the surrounding area, and a second side illuminating unit disposed on at least a portion of the main body to emit a third beam of light and illuminate the surrounding area.
METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING CONTROL INSTRUCTIONS TO A PLURALITY OF RECEIVERS AND RECEIVER ADAPTED TO RECEIVE A LIGHT PIXEL CARRYING THE CONTROL INSTRUCTIONS
Control instructions are transmitted to receivers by modulating light sources to generate light beams that are modulated with digital data streams for inducing control instructions in the light beams. Each light beam is applied to a pixel shaper element of a pixel shaper assembly to produce a light pixel, each light pixel carrying the control instructions of the light beam, each light pixel having a perimeter defined by the pixel shaper element. The pixel shaper assembly combines the light pixels into an image without significant overlap or voids between the light pixels emitted by the pixel shaper assembly. The light pixels are directed toward a projector lens for transmission toward the receivers. In a receiver, an optical receiver detects a light pixel. A controller decodes the control instructions received in the detected light pixel and uses the control instructions to control a function of the receiver.
