An intelligent lamp group includes a central lamp and at least one peripheral lamp. The central lamp includes a first lamp housing, a first light emitter, a first lampshade, a video camera module, an external memory and a system-on-chip. The first light emitter is disposed on the first lamp housing. The first lampshade covers the first light emitter. The video camera module is fixed in the first lampshade. The system-on-chip of the central lamp having a combo wireless communication module is configured to build a local wireless network to connect all the peripheral lamps, hence the user can only focus on the central lamp to achieve the remote control for the central lamp and all the peripheral lamps. In addition, through the combo wireless communication module, the central lamp can build an internet connection with the user's mobile device for the light remote control and the security monitoring.

Techniques for creating, configuring, and employing flow management lights are presented. Such light(s) can comprise or be associated with a flow management component (FMC) that can employ sensors to monitor environmental conditions in a defined area of people or vehicle traffic, and can enhance its function to manage flow and security of the people or vehicle traffic. Such light(s) can be installed in a defined area. FMC can monitor and determine a context associated with the defined area, and can adjust light output or another parameter(s) of one or more lights based on the determined context. Over time, FMC can learn contexts of people or vehicle traffic at various times and adjust operations accordingly for the particular context at a specific time. FMC can control operations of such light(s) in relation to enhancing security and safety of people or traffic, business and sales operations, and other objectives.

Enhancements to ornamental or holiday lighting are disclosed including remote control ornamental illumination with color pallet control whereby a user can vary the color/intensity/appearance of an individual bulb or entire light string by selecting the electronic address of the bulb and selecting its attribute. Further disclosures include: motion responsive lights which respond to sensed movement, gesture controlled lights, adjustable white color/white led sets, connectable multi-function lights, controller to sequence lights to music or other input source, rotating projection led light/tree top/table top unit, and remote controlled sequencing icicle lights and ornament lighting system.

A motion sensor for detection motion of humans is provided. The motion sensor contains a near infrared (NIR) low resolution image sensor that captures image frames in the near infrared spectrum and a sensor that detects the amount of visible light. In addition, a processor is connected to the visible light sensor and the NIR motion sensor. The processor is configured to receive the amount of visible light from the visible light sensor and the images from the NIR low resolution image sensor. The processor is further configured to compare the image frames to detect motion; the sensitivity of the detection of motion is determined by the amount of visible light detected by the visible light sensor. The output has two or modes based on the detection of motion by the processor.

The present invention discloses a lighting system for monitoring human activity within an enclosed environment. The system comprises one or more light fixtures including a thermal sensor housed within a sensor housing coupled to each light fixture, wherein the thermal sensor is communicatively coupled to the light fixture and configured to capture a plurality of thermal images indicative of human activity surrounding a fixture within the enclosed environment, wherein each thermal image includes a grid having a plurality of pixels corresponding to a section of the enclosed environment, a processor configured to receive the plurality of thermal images from the thermal sensor, wherein the processor is in data communication with the thermal sensor and the light fixture and a wireless transceiver communicatively coupled to the processor.
