An elongated lighting module having an asymmetric illumination source formed from at least two rows of light emitting diodes (LEDs) that extend along the long axis of the module and are independently controllable. The illumination source is rectangular and oriented so that the rows of LEDs extend along the long axis of the module. The module has couplings at each end that allow additional modules to be interconnected to each other and to a central mount, thereby avoiding the need for a support pole having cross-arms. The lighting modules are powered via a wiring harness that extends down a support pole to a power converter stack having LED drivers to control the modules.

A system for lighting a volleyball court has four corner light assemblies, two side center light assemblies, and four mid-court light assemblies. Each corner light assembly has an upper light fixture adapted to emit light outward and downward at a level generally below a player's eye level and a lower light element mounted in a manner to emit light outwards and upwards. Each side center light assembly has two lower light fixtures adapted to emit light outward and downward at a level generally below a player's eye level and an upper light assembly adapted to emit light outwards and upwards at a level generally above a player's eye level. Each mid-court light assembly has a light fixture adapted to emit light outward and downward at a level generally below a player's eye level. By ensuring that no light is emitted at a player's eye level, glare is significantly reduced.

A device for lighting a court including at least one lighting strip extending substantially horizontally along at least one side of the court, at a predefined height relative to the court of less than 3.5 meters. The strip includes a series of light sources distributed along its length, each of the light sources projecting a light beam oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the strip. The at least one strip includes rails which extend along a length of said strip and are suitable for holding a fixing element at any point along the length of said rails.

It is common to bundle plural conductor wires (e.g., via cable tie) when conductor wires are run collectively some distance (e.g., from the back of a computer tower to related devices (e.g., mouse, monitor)). Oftentimes bundled conductor wires are broken or damaged—potentially posing a shock hazard—when conductor wires are bundled too tightly or bent at too extreme an angle. These concerns are exacerbated in long runs of conductor wire in enclosed spaces where friction and strain relief also become concerns—for example, in large scale applications where tall, substantially hollow poles contain long runs of conductor wire which connect devices at or near the top of the pole to devices at or near the bottom of the pole. Disclosed herein are apparatus and methods of supporting runs of conductor wire in a manner that overcomes the above deficiencies, and further provides stability and protection.

An elongated lighting module having an asymmetric illumination source formed from at least two rows of light emitting diodes (LEDs) that extend along the long axis of the module and are independently controllable. The illumination source is rectangular and oriented so that the rows of LEDs extend along the long axis of the module. The lighting modules are powered via a wiring harness that extends down a support pole to a power supply having LED drivers to control the power to the modules. The power supply is divided between a core enclosure housing the LED drivers and a master enclosure that commands and controls the core enclosure. Multiple core enclosures may be used to power multiple luminaires under the control of a single master enclosure.

Reduced glare light fixtures are provided. In one example implementation, a reduced glare light fixture includes a light emitting diode (LED) system. The LED system includes at least one LED module having one or more LED devices. The reduced glare light fixture further includes a bezel physically coupled to the LED system engine. The bezel has one or more glare reduction openings. At least one of the one or more glare reduction openings is configured to be approximately coaxial with one LED of the one or more LED devices.

A method for providing assistance in aiming of one or more illumination devices in an area may include, by a processor, receiving photometric data for an area, and using the photometric data to determine an aiming vector for the illumination device. The area may include the illumination device. the method may further include receiving, from an orientation sensor module of the illumination device, orientation data for the illumination device, and using the orientation data and the aiming vector to determine if there is an error in the aiming of the illumination device. The response to determining that there is an error in the aiming of the illumination device, the method further includes causing a controller associated with a driving means of the illumination device for correcting the error in the aiming of the illumination device.

An elongated lighting module having an asymmetric illumination source formed from at least two rows of light emitting diodes (LEDs) that extend along the long axis of the module and are independently controllable. The lighting modules are powered via a wiring harness that extends down a support pole to a power converter stack having LED drivers to control the modules. The power supply for lighting module includes a power enclosure having individual light emitting drivers for powering the rows of light emitting diodes that can adjust the power level to compensate for the loss of power from another of the light emitting drivers. The power supply may also include a backup that can be switched over to power the rows of light emitting diodes in the event of a failure.

The invention relates to a method for forming a luminaire (1), which has a trough-shaped luminaire housing (10, 110) having a region (25, 125) for accommodating illuminants, which is surrounded by a seal (40), a cover (70, 80) which spans the region (25, 125) and abuts the seal (40) in a peripherally closed manner, a frame-like holding element (50, 150), which presses the cover (70, 80) into abutment with the seal (40). For the luminaire housing (10 110), the cover (70, 80) and the holding element (50, 150), are each available in at least two different variants, which can be combined in any way, wherein in order to form the luminaire (1) according to desired output properties and/or properties with regard to heat dissipation or moisture resistance, a suitable luminaire housing (10, 110), a cover (70, 80) and a holding element (50, 150) are in each case selected and the selected components are assembled to form the luminaire (1).

Lighting applications which are particularly difficult to light because of “non-standard” target areas (or otherwise) would benefit from advancements in lighting design. That being said, conventional wisdom in lighting design has practical limitations—conventional means of visors at/on lighting fixtures (i.e., local visoring) can only become so long to provide beam cutoff before becoming prohibitively heavy or costly, for example. Local visoring can only be pivoted so far before beam shift occurs (e.g., shifting the physical location of maximum candela or photometric center), as another example. Conventional wisdom can only buy so much cutoff and beam control before the overall lighting design is impacted—and so an alternative approach is warranted. One such alternative approach which relies upon a combination of remote visoring and local visoring is discussed; additional approaches are also discussed.
