Lighting device with multiple-region reflector
Lighting devices that comprise a light source and a reflector, the reflector comprising first, second and third reflector regions. In some devices, a first portion of light is reflected by the first region and then by the third reflector region, a second portion of light is reflected by the second region and forms a primary beam, and at least 5% of the first portion of light that is reflected by the third region is within the primary beam of light. In some devices, at least 5% of all light reflected by the first reflector region travels from the first reflector region directly to the third reflector region. In some devices, at least 5% of all light reflected by the third reflector region traveled directly from the first reflector region to the third reflector region. In some devices, the reflector comprises means for providing the features described above.
Self-healing overtemp circuits in LED lighting systems
A self-healing overtemp circuit is described and illustrated comprising a temperature sensing circuit, a voltage sensing circuit, and optionally, a current sensing circuit. The self-healing overtemp circuit is designed to ramp down power in an LED lighting system (or other electrical circuit) in response to a sensed or impending thermal runaway (and optionally, overcurrent) event. Said thermal runaway and overcurrent events may be a result of failure of one or more components (e.g., driver, active cooling means) of the lighting system. The self-healing overtemp circuit further comprises means of restoring power to said LEDs in a manner that avoids (i) a perceivably bright flash of light or (ii) increased risk of component failure.
APPARATUS, METHOD, AND SYSTEM FOR IMPROVED TURF OR GRASS GROWTH
Grass and/or turf growth is impacted by a number of factors both above ground and below ground. For example, soil temperature, nutrient levels, water levels, oxygen, humidity, above ground temperature, wind, and light. With respect to just light, there are a host of factors which can impact everything from root depth to disease resistance of grass/turf. While sunlight and artificial light can produce swards which are suitable for initial use, shade and/or damage can negatively impact portions of grass/turf for which there are no commercially available solutions. Described herein are a method and apparatuses for addressing turf growth and/or repair, and in a manner that minimizes downtime.
LASER SPOT LIGHT WITH IMPROVED RADIATING STRUCTURE
The present invention provides a laser spot light with improved radiating structure which includes a cylindrical shell, a mounting board fixed within the cylindrical shell, at least one laser head, an inner radiator made from heat-conductive metal and configured for supporting the at least one laser head and fixed on the mounting board, and an outer radiator made from heat-conductive metal and fixed to the side wall of the cylindrical shell with a part of the outer radiator passing across the cylindrical shell and touching with the inner radiator. Therefore an inner heat can be conducted to the outside of the cylindrical shell, and an operation temperature of the laser head can be maintained in a normal range.
High mast lighting system
This disclosure describes, among other things, embodiments of high mast lighting systems with at least one crossarm for mounting at a location along a height of a light pole disposed about a venue, the crossarm including one or more luminaires with the luminaires having associated LED drivers that may be controlled by one or more control nodes disposed locally on or at the pole, within an enclosure or housing, or nearby.
Method and apparatus for rotational adjustment of optics
A method and apparatus is provided that enables the rotational adjustment of a non rotationally-symmetrical optical element in order to change the direction of the emitted light from an LED emitter of a lighting unit or to change the overall luminous distribution pattern in a luminaire including a plurality of LED emitters and optical elements. The apparatus enables simple and accurate rotational adjustment, while providing for the retaining of the selected rotational position of the optical element. The adjustment can be made before or after the installation of the lighting unit or luminaire, and can be accomplished without requiring tools and expert personnel.
Asymmetric illumination lens
The present disclosure relates to an asymmetric illumination lens and an illumination system implementing at least one such lens, for example for illuminating a stadium play field.
Lamp having air-conducting surfaces and air passage openings
A lamp, which has a light source having several light-emitting elements, in particular in the form of LEDs. The lamp has first passage openings on a first side next to the light source and second passage openings on a second side next to the light source. The passage openings are designed for an air flow for cooling the light source. The lamp also has a first air-conducting surface on the first side next to the first passage openings and below the light source and a second air-conducting surface on the second side next to the second passage openings and below the light source, wherein the two air-conducting surfaces are designed in such a way that the two air-conducting surfaces form an air incidence region that expands away from the light source.
Lighting system with ballistic impact resistance
A luminaire that can resist the shock associated with a ballistics event and continue to operate. The luminaire has a base formed from high ductility aluminum. An illumination source, such as a light emitting diode array, is secured to a support of the base. A lens having a gasket is positioned over the illumination source and secured thereto with a clamp. A ballistic shield having a dual gasket is coupled to the clamp by a bezel positioned over the ballistic shield and secured to the clamp. The gaskets extending around the peripheral edges of the lens and the shield cooperate with the highly ductile aluminum base to reduce the transmission of any shock associated with a ballistic event to the illumination source and associated electronics.
Power Door Lighting Fixture
A closure for a lighting fixture includes a cover having interior and exterior surfaces that defines at least a part of an enclosure of the lighting fixture. In certain aspects, the cover comprises mounts for mounting circuitry to the interior surface of the cover and at least one attachment feature for affixing the cover to a cabinet of the lighting fixture. A light source and driver circuitry are also affixed to the cover. Because the driver circuitry and the light source are both mounted to the same cover of the lighting fixture, the light source may be replaced with an alternate light source having different voltage and current specifications, for example, by replacement of the cover with another cover. In this manner, light sources having different operating characteristics and specifications may be replaced or interchanged with relative ease.
