Failure modeling and management of an aerial light fixture

A system to identify incidents associated with streetlight fixtures based on sensor data from one or more smart sensor devices. Each smart sensor device is coupled to a respective streetlight fixture and captures data from one or more sensors. The data from a single smart sensor device or a plurality of smart sensor devices is aggregated to generate a current data signature of the one or more smart sensor devices. The current data signature is compared to a plurality of known signatures to determine if an incident associated with a streetlight fixture has occurred. Such incidents can include a failed light source, a failing light source, a weather incident, a geologic incident, etc. Depending on the type of incident an instruction is sent to the one or more smart sensor devices to perform one or more responsive actions.

Chained flashlight system
11395393 · 2022-07-19 · ·

A chained flashlight system includes: plural flashlights; plural lighting control devices that control lighting of the plural flashlights, respectively; a communication wire; and a traffic control device. The plural lighting control devices include receiving units, controlling units, activating units, and power supply units, respectively and are coupled to the traffic control device by the communication wire. The traffic control device simultaneously sends an activating signal to the plural lighting control devices via the communication wire. The receiving units receive the activating signal. The controlling units activate the activating units based on a time from reception of the activating signal to activation of the activating units, set for the flashlights, respectively. When the power supply units are turned ON in an activated state of the activating units, respectively, the flashlights are lit by a lighting signal from the traffic control device, respectively.

Automated testing of emergency lights

The subject disclosure relates to solutions for testing lighting systems and in particular, for verifying lighting system operability in the event of a power failure. A process of the disclosed technology can include steps for receiving an interrupt command, toggling an interrupt relay in response to the interrupt command, and measuring one or more lighting characteristics of the lighting array to determine if the second power supply can power the lighting array. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

20230397321 · 2023-12-07 ·

A traffic signal lamp includes a plurality of light-emitting devices. Each light-emitting device includes a light-emitting element, a power distribution module, a power module, a controller and a measuring element. The power module is configured for converting an alternating current (AC) into a direct current (DC) and supplying the DC to the light-emitting element and the power distribution module. The measuring element is electrically coupled to the power distribution module and the light-emitting element. The controller is electrically coupled to the power distribution module and the measuring element. When a selected-one of the light-emitting devices receives the AC, the power distribution modules of the selected-one provides the DC to the controller and the measuring element of the selected-one and the power distribution module of the others of the light-emitting devices.

Panel light apparatus with folding hooks

The back plate has four lateral walls and a bottom plate. A back side of the bottom plate includes multiple sets of folding hooks. Each set corresponds a different installation platform. One of the multiple sets of folding hooks is folded to be used for hooking to a corresponding installation platform. The light source module has multiple LED modules disposed on the bottom plate. Each LED module has a LED device and a lens. The lens diffuses a light of the LED device to be evenly emitted from the lens and broadening an output angle of the light via the lens. The diffusion plate with a peripheral edge is fixed to the four lateral walls of the back plate. The driver cover is attached to an external side of one of the four walls of the back plate. The driver cover defines a container cavity for concealing the driver module.
