The invention relates to a luminaire network comprising a plurality of luminaires as well as a central unit, and comprising a central communication unit. A plurality of luminaires in the network comprises a communication unit configured to make it possible for the luminaires to communicate with each other and/or with the central communication unit, as well as a control unit configured to control the luminaire as well as the communication unit. The central unit comprises information about the location of the luminaires. A plurality of the luminaires in the luminaire network further comprise at least one sensor which can sense information relating to the environment of the luminaire, wherein the communication unit of said luminaires is configured to send messages relating to the sensed information to the central communication unit, and the central unit is configured to analyze the received messages and to output the results of the analysis.

Devices, systems, and methods for operating a building management system using a lighting control interface are described herein. One device includes an occupancy sensing component, a lighting control interface configured to connect the occupancy sensing device to a lighting control channel of a building, and a building management system (BMS) interface configured to connect the occupancy sensing device to a BMS channel of the building.

Computer implemented systems and methods for providing dynamic lighting through lighting fixtures are provided herein. In one aspect, one or more characteristics of light provided from a lighting fixture or a plurality of lighting fixtures changes over time to shape the environment of an indoor space according to simulated environment illumination parameters and general illumination parameters. Dynamic lighting may improve the health or wellbeing of individuals in an indoor space, for example, by simulating an outdoor environment to reduce stress, by providing circadian entrainment to improve sleep and wakefulness, or the like. Other aspects of the present disclosure enable lighting fixtures to provide light that is synchronized with one or more other devices that simulate an environment and shape the environment of an indoor space.

Solar-powered lighting devices that may be portable and/or collapsible are described. The devices may include a housing including a first wall, a second wall, and one or more side walls between the first wall and the second wall, at least one solar panel to generate solar energy, and a rechargeable battery to store the solar energy generated. The devices may include a plurality of operating modes for controlling lights within the housing, and a microprocessor for controlling the operating modes.

A wireless enabled load control device having integrated voice control is disclosed. The load control device may be connected to a variety of local and remote devices, including lighting devices and smart appliances, as well as various cloud service platforms. The load control device may receive a voice command from a user. The load control device may transmit the voice command to a first cloud service platform for processing to determine an instruction included in the voice command. The determined instruction may be provided to a second cloud service platform connected to the first cloud service platform. The first and second cloud service platforms may be connected to a device to be controlled based on the voice command. The cloud service platforms can adjust an operation of the device based on the determined instruction.

The application discloses a lamp-control apparatus with multiple input modes including a housing, a circuit board arranged in the housing, a flash mode switching module, a sound-controlled flash mode input circuit for receiving external environment sound waves and sending a control command to a control circuit. The control circuit for controlling a light emitting mode of a lamp is arranged on the circuit board. The flash mode switching module and the sound-controlled flash mode input circuit are respectively and electrically connected to the control circuit. The sound-controlled flash mode input circuit includes a pickup device that is located inside the housing. One or more through holes for transmitting the sound waves to the pickup device are formed in the position where the pickup device is mounted on the housing. which has the advantages that the pickup device does not need to be led out of the housing through a lead wire, so that the connection between the pickup device and the circuit board is prevented from being damaged due to pulling the lead wire.
