Systems and methods for emulating natural daylight with an interior luminaire
In one embodiment, the disclosure provides an interior luminaire system for emulating natural daylight. The system may include an artificial sunlight system and an artificial skylight system. The artificial sunlight system may include one or more first light sources and one or more first movable lenses paired with the first light sources, respectively. Each first light source may be configured to direct light only at the respective paired lens. Each first light source-lens pair may be operable to generate a set of substantially parallel rays of light. The artificial sunlight system may be operable to generate a movable substantially collimated beam of light comprising the sets of substantially parallel rays of light. The artificial skylight system may include one or more second light sources. Each second light source may be operable to generate omnidirectional rays of light. The artificial skylight system may be operable to generate diffuse illumination.

Adjustable-beam luminaire
A luminaire for providing configurable static lighting or dynamically-adjustable lighting. The luminaire uses an array of focusing elements that act on light provided via a corresponding array of sources or via an edge-lit lightguide. Designs are provided for adjusting the number of distinct beams produced by the luminaire, as well as the angular width, angular profile, and pointing angle of the beams. Designs are also provided for systems utilizing the adjustable luminaires in various applications.

OUTDOOR LANDSCAPE LIGHT
Disclosed is an outdoor light fixture assembly having a housing and a lens module. The lens module is removable from the housing for servicing. The removable lens module includes a socket for one or more light sources and a lens. The outdoor light fixture further includes engagement structures for installing and removing the lens module from the housing without the use of tools.
Linear optical projection device and method of use thereof
An optical projection device for projecting a linear image is disclosed. Light emitted by an array of light emitting diodes arranged along an array axis is focused in at least a direction perpendicular to the array axis and diffused in a direction parallel to the array axis, thereby generating a linear image in which light from adjacent light emitting diodes is spatially overlapped. In some embodiments, the focusing and diffusion of the light is performed by a Fresnel lens and a lenticular lens, respectively. The optical projection device may be employed to virtually mark a surface, such as a floor in an industrial setting. High power light emitting diodes may be employed to generate a linear image having an illuminance of at least 4000 lux that is focused to a distance between 7.5 and 20 feet.

Flashlight having a removable light head
A flashlight includes a main body, a power source supported within the main body, a first electrical contact supported by the main body and electrically connected to the power source, and a head removably coupled to the main body. The head includes a light source, a lens, and a sliding focus mechanism axially moveable to adjust a distance between the light source and the lens. The flashlight further includes a second electrical contact supported by the head and electrically connected to the light source, a main body bayonet portion supporting the first electrical contact, and a head bayonet portion supporting the second electrical contact and engaged with the main body bayonet portion to electrically connect the first electrical contact with the second electrical contact.
LIGHTING APPARATUS
A lighting apparatus includes a fixing unit, a lamp body, a base housing and multiple elastic units. The fixing unit has a central hole. The lamp body includes an inner semi-sphere housing, a rotation shaft and a light source. The base housing includes an external semi-sphere housing and a rotation connector. The rotation shaft is coupled to the rotation connector for the lamp body to rotate with respect to the base housing along a first rotation axis of the rotation shaft. The multiple elastic units are attached to the base housing. The multiple elastic units are elastically attached to the central hole for the base housing to rotate with respect to the fixing unit along a second axis. There is a tilt angle between the first rotation axis and the second rotation axis.
Lighting device or lamp with configurable beam angle and/or profile
A lighting device or lamp having two or more operating modes are provided. The lighting device or lamp comprises a housing having one or more light emitting diode (LED) packages mounted therein. The lighting device or lamp further comprises at least one secondary optic disc comprising a plurality of secondary optical elements. The secondary optical elements comprise two or more types of secondary optical elements. An operating mode of the two or more operating modes corresponds to each of the one or more LED packages being aligned with a secondary optical element of a predetermined type. The secondary optic disc is mounted to the housing so that the secondary optic disc is selectively rotatable with respect to the housing.
