A lighting device comprising a lighting unit comprising a plurality of lighting modules and a termination module, wherein the termination module is configured to have an electrical characteristic different from that of each lighting module, such that it draws a different amount of current in response to an applied drive voltage. The present invention suggests automatically determining a lighting module count of the lighting unit upon detection of the termination module, by measuring a change of a current passing through the lighting unit while sequentially activating the modules of the lighting unit.

Illumination systems, flexible lighting apparatus and/or lighting control methods are described herein. In various embodiments, one or more signals indicative of a shape formed by a flexible substrate (104, 204,304, 504, 604) of a flexible lighting apparatus (100, 200, 300, 600) may be obtained from a plurality of sensors (110, 210, 310) associated with the flexible lighting apparatus. One or more lengths of the flexible substrate along the one or more axes may be detected based on the one or more signals provided by the plurality of sensors. One or more LEDs (or more generally, light sources) (102, 202, 302, 502) disposed along the one or more axes of the flexible substrate may be energized to emit light having one or more lighting properties selected based on the detected one or more lengths.

A light emitting device which can adjust color temperature as power is supplied from a single power source and a lighting device including the light emitting device are provided. The light emitting device includes an anode electrode land; a cathode electrode land; a first light emitting unit and a second light emitting unit which are electrically connected to the anode electrode land and the cathode electrode land, are adjacently provided in parallel with each other; and a low pass filter including a capacitance member which is provided in parallel with the first light emitting unit and the second light emitting unit, and a resistance member which is provided in series with the first light emitting unit and the second light emitting unit, in which electric resistance of the first light emitting unit is larger than electric resistance of the second light emitting unit.

A lighting system is disclosed. An example lighting system includes at least one light emitting diode (“LED”) circuit having a plurality of LEDs, where the plurality of LEDs includes the same or differently colored LEDs. The lighting system also includes a driver including at least one bridge rectifier and at least one capacitor, a housing including a heat sinking material, and at least two connectors. One of the at least two connectors is adaptable to be connected to the driver and another one of the at least two connectors is adaptable to be connected to an AC power source. The driver is configured to receive an AC voltage from the AC power source and provide a voltage and a current to the at least one LED circuit. Additionally, the driver and the at least one LED circuit are mounted to the housing.

A lighting system includes an LED downlight mountable to a ceiling, a driver, and an insulation displacement connector (IDC). Light from the downlight can be faced downward to project light or upward to reflect light off of the ceiling. The driver has an input with a first voltage and an output with a second voltage, the second voltage being lower than the first and being provided through a wire system extending from the LED driver. The IDC connects the downlight to the wire system. The lighting system can be changed from a first to a second configuration by at least one of adding an additional downlight using a corresponding MC or removing an existing downlight using a corresponding IDC. The second configuration does not significantly affect a desired output range of light from any downlight or any LED circuit of any downlight that remains or preexists from the first configuration.

A system, method and storage medium for providing an emergency lighting includes generating, by a controller, a driving control signal; receiving, by a light source, the driving control signal; and emitting, by the light source, light based on the driving control signal. Intensity of the light emitted from the light source repeatedly ramps up and ramps down with a first period based on the driving control signal.

A radiation monitor for a lighting device, and operating methods and systems therefor are provided. In one example, a radiation monitor may include a first sensor receiving radiation output directly from a light-emitting element of the lighting device and radiation output from external sources; and a second sensor receiving the radiation output from the external sources without receiving the radiation output directly from the light-emitting element of the lighting device. The radiation monitor may determine an intensity of the radiation output directly from the light-emitting element based on a difference in the output signals from the first sensor and the second sensor.
