Recessed luminaire without an integrated light source
A recessed luminaire includes a trim, a junction box, and a light source socket. The trim includes a trim body, a flange, and a cover section. The flange extends out from the trim body at an opening of the trim. The junction box and the light source socket are attached to the trim. The light source socket is positioned inside a cavity of the trim. The light source socket may be attached to a cover section of the trim or to a bracket that is attached to the trim.
LINEAR LUMINAIRE INCLUDING A LIGHT INSET INSERTED IN A CHANNEL
A linear luminaire includes a linear channel defining an interior space and a linear light inset configured for being inserted into the channel in the interior space. The light inset includes a cover and a printed circuit board fixed to the cover. The printed circuit board supports a plurality of light emitting diodes. The cover base wall includes a translucent portion. The light emitting diodes are arranged for emitting light through the translucent portion. The cover includes two cover connectors, each configured for being snapped into the channel to hold the cover in the interior space. The cover connectors are on an opposite side of the printed circuit board as the translucent portion.
Arc detection system
The present invention generally directed to arc detection circuits or systems that help prevent fire damage to solid state (LED) based light sources by providing an arc detection system that can be used to detect acing in LED based light fixtures. Once the arcing is detected, power can be quickly turned off to the lighting system. One arc detection circuit according to the present invention comprises a high pass filter circuit arranged to accept an electrical signal with an arc current component having one or more arcing events and a direct current (DC) component, wherein the high pass filter passes only the arc current component. An arc detection circuit is included that accepts the arc current component and filters out arcing events below a threshold. Wherein the arc detection circuit provides an arcing signal with arcing events above said threshold. A microcontroller is also included that accepts the arcing signal to generate control signals based on the arcing signal. In some embodiment, the control signals can be used to control a power supply.
ANTI-STATIC LIGHT SOURCE UNIT AND BACKLIGHT MODULE THEREOF
A light source unit in a backlight module able to resist the accumulation of static electricity includes a circuit board, a plurality of lighting elements, a plurality of conductive lines, and at least one connecting line. Each conductive line electrically connects with lighting elements. The conductive line forms a plurality of first sharp portions. A plurality of second sharp portions which are grounded are facing the first sharp portions. The first sharp portions collect static electricity and the second sharp portions cooperate with the first sharp portions to discharge the static electricity.

Airfield luminaire vibration monitoring
Methods, devices, and systems for airfield luminaire vibration monitoring are described herein. In some examples, one or more embodiments include a computing device comprising a memory and a processor to execute instructions stored in the memory to receive a vibration signal from a sensor on an airfield luminaire, compare the vibration signal from the sensor to a vibration profile for the airfield luminaire, and determine a status of a bolt of the airfield luminaire based on the comparison.
EYE-SAFE OPTOELECTRONIC MODULE
An eye-safe optoelectronic module includes a light source mounted on a support and operable to generate light along an emission axis. An eye-safe substrate has an eye-safe substrate refractive index and includes at least one diffusive surface. The eye-safe substrate is mounted such that the emission axis is intercepted by the diffusive surface. An optical assembly includes at least one optical element, is composed of an optical material and is mounted on the diffusive surface of the eye-safe substrate such that the optical material fills a diffusive surface of the eye-safe substrate. The optical assembly has an optical assembly refractive index that is substantially the same as the eye-safe substrate refractive index.

Accent light with tube in tube niche fixture and water channel cooling light housing
An underwater pendant light installation within a wall of a water feature has an installation tube in a niche tube having a facia section at the terminus of the niche tube. One terminus of the niche tube in communication with the water feature and having a water inlet coupled to a water gap section. An at least one underwater pendant or accent light having a housing, a lens body, an electronics section, an at least one heat sink, and one or more LEDs is mounted within the niche tube. The underwater pendant or accent light being coupled in a watertight fashion to a power source through the watertight coupling and being contained within the niche tube such that the water gap section surrounds at least in part the housing and permits water from the water feature to circulate in contact the housing but not penetrate into the watertight electrical connection.
Apparatus with charge dissipation
An electrical apparatus has an external conductive housing. A printed circuit board is provided (separate to a main circuit board of the apparatus) within a PCB housing. The printed circuit board is mechanically and electrically connected to the external housing and has an arc gap between a first contact which connects electrically to the external housing and a second contact which connects electrically to a power supply terminal. Thus, a dedicated circuit is used to perform a discharge function so that the housing and main circuit board do not need to be redesigned.
