Light fixture with NFC-controlled lighting parameters
A fixture configuration module comprises a connector configured to be removably coupled with a light fixture. The fixture configuration module also comprises fixture control circuitry communicatively coupled to the connector and configured to control the light fixture to produce light in accordance with a range of a lighting parameter. The range includes at least a subset of values supported by the light fixture for producing light. The fixture configuration module further comprises range control circuitry communicatively coupled to the fixture control circuitry and configured to wirelessly receive the range at least while the connector is uncoupled from the light fixture, and designate the range to the fixture control circuitry while the connector is coupled to the light fixture.
Sequential and coordinated flashing of electronic roadside flares with active energy conservation
Electronic light emitting flares and related methods. Flares of the present invention include various features such as self-synchronization, remote control, motion-actuated or percussion-actuated features, dynamic shifting between side-emitting and top-emitting light emitters in response to changes in positional orientation (e.g., vertical vs. horizontal) of the flare; overrides to cause continued emission from side-emitting or top-emitting light emitters irrespective of changes in the flare's positional orientation; use of the flare(s) for illumination of traffic cones and other hazard marking or traffic safety objects or devices, group on/off features, frequency specificity to facilitate use of separate groups of flares in proximity to one another, selection and changing of flashing patterns and others.
