SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO MANAGE THEMES IN LIGHTING MODULES
20200128654 · 2020-04-23 ·

A lighting system includes lighting fixtures and a lighting controller that sends commands and data over an AC power line to power and control the lighting fixtures. Lighting themes are uniquely programmable color and intensity that are applied to a collection of lighting groups to achieve different lighting modes instantly, without the delay that programming each lighting fixture individually incurs. The groups of lighting modules receive theme lighting information over the power line and store the theme information in memory. The lighting controller sends a single command to the collections of the lighting groups to apply the theme. Each lighting module retrieves and applies the theme information.

Fast Plant Eradication Using Aimed Unnatural Low Energy Dual Component Indigo Region and Medium Wavelength Infrared Illumination

Plant eradication and stressing of plants using illumination trauma where a dual component, low energy, unnatural set of irradiances is applied, with no mutagenic or high radiative energy transfers in any wavelength for eradication by severe scalding, heat shock, or incineration. Two radiations are applied: an Indigo Region Illumination Distribution that can extend from 300 nm to 550 nm to be directed to plant foliage and/or a plant root crown, and a Medium Wavelength Infrared distribution of light, ranging from 2-20 microns wavelength to be directed to the ground, to a plant root crown and/or soil immediately adjacent the root crown. Plants can include seeds, and seedlings, and biomass can be irradiated to control weed seeds such as from a combine. The Indigo Region Illumination Distribution can pass through the MWIR emitter to form a compact illuminator. The MWIR emitter can comprise borosilicate glass at 400 F to 1000 F.

Digital addressable lighting interface configuration

A method of configuring and managing a DALI network includes displaying rows of cells on a display of a mobile device. The cells are associated with addresses on DALI networks. The method further includes selecting, by the mobile device, a DALI controller, where DALI controller is connected to a DALI network. The method also includes detecting, by the DALI controller, DALI devices that are on the DALI network, where the DALI devices are controlled by the DALI controller. The DALI controller is configured to detect the DALI devices in response to a request from the mobile device. The method further includes displaying, within some or all cells in the row of cells displayed on the display of the mobile device, icons representing the DALI devices, where each cell having an icon displayed therein is associated with an address of a respective DALI device on the DALI network.
