Connector system for lighting assembly
An elongate tubular lighting assembly having a body with a length between spaced first and second ends. The tubular lighting assembly has a source of illumination and first and second connectors respectively at the first and second body ends. The first connector has cooperating first and second parts having first and second surfaces. The first and second connector parts are configured so that the first and second surfaces are placed in confronting relationship to prevent separation of the first and second connector parts with the body in an operative state as an incident of the first connector part moving relative to the second connector part from a position fully separated from the second connector part in a substantially straight path that is transverse to the length of the body into an engaged position.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONNECTING AND CONTROLLING CONFIGURABLE LIGHTING UNITS
In some embodiments, a configurable lighting device, connectors, controllers, and methods for layout detection are provided. The configurable lighting devices, suitably connected, form an assembly of configurable lighting devices that can be removably connected with one another and re-arranged. Connectors are provided that form mechanical and electrical connections between configurable lighting devices such that a flow of electricity and control signals may be propagated without the need for direct connection between every configurable lighting device and a controller. The controller or devices connected to the controller are configured to perform layout detection such that pleasing visualizations may be rendered across the assembly that are rendered using at least the detected layout. When the configuration of the configurable lighting devices changes, the layout detection is automatically updated.
Trim Unit for Lamp and Lamp
Disclosed are a trim unit for a lamp and the lamp. The trim unit for the lamp includes: one or more installation parts, through enabling the installation parts to be abutted with a corresponding fixture of a lamp main body of the lamp, the trim unit may be fixed to the lamp main body at a light-emitting end of the lamp main body in a removable manner, and the trim unit includes an adjusting part, the adjusting part adjusts light emitted by an illuminating unit installed in the lamp main body. Therefore, a problem in the related art that an appearance decoration effect of the lamp is monotonous is solved.
Broad view headlamp
The broad view headlamp includes a plurality of light sources that illuminate an area in front of the headlamp, an area adjacent to each side of the headlamp, and an area below the headlamp. The headlamp includes a number of lighting modes, such that any one of the light sources can be operated individually or in combination with any one or more of the remaining light sources. The headlamp housing has multiple lighting compartments, each having one or more light sources disposed therein. Each compartment includes an optical lens. The various light sources, together with the optical lenses, allow the headlamp to illuminate a view area extending to, at least, the outer boundaries of the far peripheral vision of the human eye, i.e., 110 degrees to the right and left of center. Thus, the total combined view area illuminated by the headlamp is at least 220 degrees.
LIGHTING FIXTURES AND METHODS OF COMMISSIONING LIGHTING FIXTURES
In embodiments of the present invention, a method and system is provided for commissioning improved intelligent, LED-based lighting systems. The LED based lighting systems may include fixtures with one or more LED light bars, integrated sensors, onboard intelligence to send and receive signals and control the LED light bars, and network connectivity to other fixtures.
LIGHT SOURCE DEVICE
A light source device includes: a combined body including light emitting portions including: a first light emitting portion including a first light emitting element, and a second light emitting portion provided separately from and along an outer periphery of the first light emitting portion in a plan view, the second light emitting portion including a plurality of second light emitting elements; and a lens disposed above the combined body. The first light emitting element and the plurality of second light emitting elements are arrayed in first and second directions that are perpendicular to each other. The first light emitting element and the plurality of second light emitting elements are controllable to be lit independently.
Broad View Headlamp
The broad view headlamp includes a plurality of light sources that illuminate an area in front of the headlamp, an area adjacent to each side of the headlamp, and an area below the headlamp. The headlamp includes a number of lighting modes, such that any one of the light sources can be operated individually or in combination with any one or more of the remaining light sources. The headlamp housing has multiple lighting compartments, each having one or more light sources disposed therein. Each compartment includes an optical lens. The various light sources, together with the optical lenses, allow the headlamp to illuminate a view area extending to, at least, the outer boundaries of the far peripheral vision of the human eye, i.e., 110 degrees to the right and left of center. Thus, the total combined view area illuminated by the headlamp is at least 220 degrees.
SOLAR SIMULATOR
A solar simulator has an array of light sources including LED light sources and at least one non-LED light source. At least a portion of the infrared-light wavelength range covered by the solar simulator is covered only by the non-LED light source More than 50% of the irradiance provided by the solar simulator is provided by the LED light sources. Application to artificially recreate sunlight in a solar testing device for the testing of solar cells, sun screens, and other products.
Airfield light
An airfield light, components thereof, and associated methods. The airfield light can include a baffle including a baffle body and one or more baffle members secured to the baffle body. The baffle members are configured to cover portions of a baffle window. At least one light source is mounted in association with the baffle and emits light out of the baffle window. The baffle members cover portions of the baffle window for blocking light transmission therethrough. A method of assembling an airfield light includes arranging a baffle to shroud a light assembly and removing a baffle member to permit light from the light assembly to emit through a portion of a baffle window opened by removing the baffle member. A baffle for an airfield light is also disclosed.
LASER PHOSPHOR LIGHT SOURCE FOR INTELLIGENT HEADLIGHTS AND SPOTLIGHTS
A laser-excited phosphor light source and method includes a heat sink; a plurality of lasers, each mounted in thermal contact to the heat sink, wherein each of the plurality of lasers emits one or more first (e.g., blue) wavelengths. A crystal phosphor rod having two ends and at least one side face is operatively coupled to receive the laser light from one or more of the plurality of lasers. The rod emits light of one or more longer wavelengths. A compound parabolic concentrator (CPC) receives the light from the crystal phosphor rod. The light source outputs an output light beam that includes the light of one or more longer wavelengths from the first crystal phosphor rod and light of the one or more first (e.g., blue) wavelengths. Some embodiments include multiple phosphor light sources of different colors, and/or a blue light source not using phosphors.
