Aerially mounted wireless networking device antenna system
A small cell networking device includes a compartment in which at least one printed circuit board (PCB) is mounted. At least three networking modules are mounted on the at least one PCB. A first one of the networking modules is arranged as a gateway to a first wireless network. A second one of the networking modules is arranged as a gateway to a second wireless network. A third one of the networking modules monitors network traffic in the first wireless network or second wireless network. First and second antennas are mounted to a first surface of the compartment, between a second surface of the compartment and the PCB. A third antenna is mounted to the second surface of the compartment between the second surface of the compartment and the PCB. The first, second, and third antennas are respectively coupled to the first, second, and third networking modules.
Lighting system
A controller for controlling at least a first lighting device and a second lighting device, the controller comprising a communication unit for communicating with the first and second lighting device, a user interface for receiving user input, a display unit, and a processor for rendering, on the display unit, a graphical representation of a first color spectrum, a first type of graphical representation of the first lighting device in the first color spectrum at a first position in the user interface, a second type of graphical representation of the second lighting device in the first color spectrum at a second position in the user interface, wherein the first type of graphical representation is indicative for the first lighting device being arranged for generating light matching a color of the first color spectrum associated with the first position in the user interface, and the second type of graphical representation is indicative for the second lighting device not being arranged for generating light matching a color of the first color spectrum associated with the second position in the user interface. The processor is further arranged for controlling, upon receiving a first user input for controlling the first lighting device via the user interface, via the communication unit, the color of one or more of the first and second lighting device according to the first user input.

Two-level LED security light with motion sensor
A technology for configuring a lifestyle LED light with a tunable light color temperature is disclosed. The technology of tuning the light color temperature is made possible by blending two LED loads emitting light with different color temperatures thru a light diffuser with an arrangement that a first electric power delivered to a first LED load emitting light with a low color temperature and a second electric power delivered to a second LED load emitting light with a high color temperature are reversely and complementarily adjusted for tuning a diffused light color temperature such that a total light intensity generated by the LED light is kept essentially unchanged.

Lighting system and lighting method
The invention relates to a lighting device, a lighting system and a lighting method. The lighting device comprises a row of lighting units mounted in a first direction X on an elongated carrier wherein each lighting unit is mounted with a respective, fixed, unique, pre-determined orientation. Said lighting device is configured to directly project on a target plane P a row of light patches, said plane P extending in said first direction X and in a second direction Y transverse to said first direction. Said row of light patches extends in the second direction and wherein said lighting device is offset out of said plane P in a third direction Z. The lighting system comprises at least a first and at least one second lighting device substantially lying in line in the length direction. Optionally said first and at least one second lighting device may extend in two or three parallel rows. Said lighting system further comprises a control unit for individual control/addressing of the lighting units of the at least first and further lighting device.
Method and apparatus for controlling light levels to save energy
An occupancy sensor with integral light level sensors is configured to turn off or disable peripheral circuits and go into a periodic deep sleep mode to reduce phantom loading. Peripheral circuits include occupancy sensor circuits and relay drive circuits, but may include other circuits such as communication circuits. The sensor may be configured to periodically wake itself up, check ambient light conditions to see if lighting is below the set threshold. If it is not, the sensor goes back to sleep. If it is, then the sensor can power up the occupancy sensor circuit to see if the space is occupied; if not, it can go back to sleep. If the space is occupied, it can turn on other peripheral circuits necessary to control the load.
Self-adjusting frame for mounting over a wall-mounted electrical device
A mounting frame may be configured as a self-adjusting mounting frame that biases itself against a surface of structure. The mounting frame may be a component, for example, of a remote control device or a faceplate assembly. The mounting frame may be configured to bias a rear surface of the mounting frame against the surface of a structure. The mounting frame may include biasing members. Each biasing member may include an attachment portion and a pair of resilient spring arms that suspend the attachment portion relative to a perimeter wall of the mounting frame such that the attachment portion is spaced further from the rear surface of the mounting frame than locations where the spring arms extend from the mounting frame. The rear surface of the mounting frame may be defined by the perimeter wall.

Methods and devices for auto-calibrating light dimmers
An automated dimming load controller automatically measures the relationship between the current draw and the dimmer setting for each light or group of lights connected to the load controller. Once measured, the relationship between the current draw and the dimmer setting can be used to enable the dimmer controller to adjust the lights between their minimum and maximum effective illumination. This automatic setting of the dimmer controller may be performed regularly to accommodate changes in performance or replacement of any of the connected lights, drivers or ballasts.
