Lighting, sensing and imaging methods and apparatus for controlled environment agriculture
A fluid-cooled LED-based lighting fixture for Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) to improve energy efficiency, recycle waste heat, and support the operation of environmental sensors in a controlled agricultural environment. In one example, a lighting fixture frame mechanically supports and houses respective components of the lighting fixture and includes a light spine to mechanically couple the lighting fixture to a support structure. One or more coolant pipes formed from copper and coupled to the lighting fixture frame conduct a fluid coolant through the lighting fixture to remove heat. The lighting fixture comprises one or more LED modules to emit light, one or more onboard sensors and/or cameras, wireless communication functionality, and multiple electrical power and communication ports to facilitate interconnection of the lighting fixture in a variety of controlled agricultural environments. In some examples, the lighting fixture includes a multispectral imaging system to acquire multispectral images of the environment.

LIGHTING DEVICE AND PROJECTION DISPLAY APPARATUS
A lighting device includes: a first light source unit including a plurality of laser elements and emitting a first light flux in a first direction; a second light source unit including a plurality of laser elements and being arranged to emit a second light flux in the first direction and to be spaced apart from the first light source unit by a first distance in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction; and an optical path shift optical system including: a first reflecting surface that reflects the second light flux emitted from the second light source unit toward the first light flux; and a second reflecting surface that is parallel to the first reflecting surface and reflects the second light flux reflected by the first reflecting surface to be parallel to the first light flux at a second distance shorter than the first distance.
High-Output LED AC Bulb Replacement Assembly
A direct, plug-in replacement assembly for the halogen bulb used in existing lighting instruments that are employed in motion picture, video and stage productions. The assembly is self-contained and powered from the same socket as the original bulb. The assembly is designed to fit into the existing lighting instrument without any modification of that instrument. The assembly incorporates an LED array along with an electronic and mechanical system for thermal management. Standard phase-control AC dimmers are fully compatible with the assembly.

FORWARD COOLING HEADLIGHT
There is disclosed a forward cooling headlight comprising a body, a lens coupled to the body and a heatsink coupled to the body. There is also a heatpipe and at least one light. The light is coupled to the heatsink, wherein the heatpipe is coupled to the heatsink at a first end, and to the body at a second end. The heatsink draws heat away from the light, via the heatpipe and towards the body. There can be at least one synthetic jet coupled to the heatpipe to aid in cooling the light. In addition, in at least one embodiment, there can be at least two lights with at least two different drivers with a first driver driving a first light and a second driver driving a second light wherein when each of the lights is lit it is capable of generating a different focal point.
