Luminaire with power failure detection
The invention relates to a luminaire with a light source comprising: a functional unit; a power supply and control unit configured for converting power from a main power source into a power signal for powering the functional unit; wherein the power supply and control unit is configured to generate a power supply failure signal when the power supply from the main power source fails and to communicate the power supply failure signal to the functional unit.
Color mixing optics for LED illumination device
Illumination devices with improved color mixing optics are disclosed herein for mixing the colors produced by a multi-colored LED emitter module to produce uniform color throughout the entire beam angle of the output light beam, along with smoother edges and improved center beam intensity. Embodiments disclosed herein include a unique arrangement of multi-color LEDs within an emitter module, a unique exit lens with different patterns of lenslets on opposing sides of the lens, and other associated optical features that thoroughly mix the different color components, and as such, provide uniform color across the output beam exiting the illumination device. Additional embodiments disclosed herein include a unique arrangement of photodetectors within the primary optics structure of the LED emitter module that ensure the optical feedback system properly measures the light produced by all similarly colored emission LEDs.
System and Method for Controlling the Humidity and Pressure in a Luminaire
A luminaire is provided, having first and second enclosures, a pipe, and a chamber. The first enclosure includes luminaire components that emit a light beam, has two openings, and is otherwise sealed. The second enclosure includes electronic circuits coupled to the luminaire components, has an opening, and is otherwise sealed. The first enclosure rotates relative to the second enclosure. The pipe couples an opening of the first enclosure to an opening of the second enclosure, rotates relative to the first enclosure, and is otherwise sealed. The chamber includes a drying agent, two openings, and is otherwise sealed from the external air. One opening of the chamber is rotatably coupled to an opening of the first enclosure. The other opening of the chamber is completely covered by a membrane that allows air to pass through the material while reducing the passage of water droplets in the air.
COLOR CONTROL IN LIGHT FIXTURE WITH SUBTRACTIVE COLOR MIXING SYSTEM AND ADDITIONAL FILTER
A method for controlling a subtractive color mixing system in a light fixture, comprising a light source, the subtractive color mixing system comprising a plurality of subtractive color filters, and an additional filter. The method is for emitting light having a target color upon having traversed the additional filter, such as upon having traversed the subtractive color mixing system and the additional filter and optionally being emitted from the light fixture.

Techniques for enhanced diffusion lighting
Techniques for creating, configuring, and employing diffusion light devices are presented. Such light device(s) can comprise or be associated with a light management component (LMC) that can employ sensors to monitor environmental conditions in a defined area of people or vehicles, and a diffusion component that can diffuse or otherwise process light. At a least a portion of the diffusion component and/or a light component can be formed of a fabric that can emit light and/or diffuse light. LMC can enhance function of the light device to manage diffusion of light or perform other tasks to enhance user experience and safety and security of people or vehicles. Based on results of analyzing sensor data relating to the conditions, LMC can determine and facilitate implementing an adjustment(s) to a parameter(s) of the diffusion component or light component to achieve desired emission or diffusion of light.

LASER BASED LIGHTING SYSTEM AND METHOD
A laser lighting system has a first laser light source, a second laser light source and a light conversion element. The outputs from the first and second laser light sources are directed to the light conversion element, which generates wavelength-converted light output in response to excitation by laser light. The first and second laser light sources generate laser light of different wavelength having different absorption characteristics within the light conversion element, such that the range of depths within the light conversion element from which wavelength-converted light is generated is different. This difference in converted output can be used to create different optical effects so that beam steering or beam shaping can be performed.
