The present disclosure discloses a multifunctional atmosphere candle. The multifunctional atmosphere candle comprises cushion blocks, a shell, a rotating plate, a base plate, a candle-imitating lamp, an aromatherapy cabin and a gift lifting device, wherein the cushion blocks are symmetrically arranged below the base plate, the candle-imitating lamp is arranged on the top of the base plate, the shell is arranged on the top of the candle-imitating lamp, the rotating plate rotatably penetrates through the upper wall of the shell, the aromatherapy cabin is arranged in the shell, and the gift lifting device is arranged in the shell and arranged below the rotating plate. The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of lamps, and particularly relates to a multifunctional atmosphere candle which controls a gift to ascend and descend through the gift lifting device, gives surprise to others, releases aroma through the aromatherapy cabin and further emphasizes the atmosphere.

Disclosed is a system for real-time measurement of inventory on shelves. The system uses light sensors placed in association with the inventory and the shelves to measure in real-time the removal/replacement of inventory from the shelves. When inventory is on the shelves, less light reaches the light sensors. As inventory is removed from shelves, the light sensors receive more light. The difference in light received generates as signal that can be measured, thereby allowing for determining inventory levels on each shelf. The system may be retro-fitted to existing shelving systems, thereby avoiding the cost of purchasing new shelving systems. The system can work on any shelving system, including gravity-feed roller shelf (GRS), flat shelves, and spring loaded pusher shelves, and is unaffected by usual temperatures found in retail establishments and can thus work in both refrigerated and unrefrigerated systems. Also disclosed are related methods.

An electronic shelf label, which is arranged to be attached to a shelf, preferred to a shelf rail located at the front edge of a shelf floor, more preferred to form the shelf rail by itself and to be directly attached to the shelf floor, the electronic shelf label comprises: a display screen arranged on or as the front wall of the electronic shelf label to display content in the form of a still or video image, the display screen comprises a light source to provide a backlit for the display screen, and an illumination device, which is independently controllable form the light source and arranged to emit light from the electronic shelf label from a different wall than its front wall.

Embodiments of this disclosure provide a goods shelf system and a method of monitoring items of the goods shelf system. The goods shelf system comprises: a goods shelf comprising a bearing body for bearing an item; a signal transmitting unit located on a side of the bearing body; a plurality of signal receiving units, located on the bearing body, for receiving a signal transmitted by the signal transmitting unit; and a processing unit, electrically connected with the signal receiving unit, for acquiring a storage state of the item on the bearing body according to an signal outputted by the signal receiving unit, wherein one or more of the plurality of signal receiving units shielded by the items are not able to receive the signal transmitted by the signal transmitting unit.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to a lighting assembly and method for illuminating a vertical planar area, such as a merchandise display. The lighting assembly can comprise two opposing support arms and a lighting bar extending between the two opposing support arms, a circuit board having a plurality of LEDs mounted to the inside of the lighting bar; and a plurality of reflective surfaces located adjacent to the plurality of LEDs, wherein the plurality of reflective surfaces are positioned such that the LEDs project a first light beam in a first direction and a second light beam in a second direction different than the first direction.

An optical element includes a rectangular light guide plate, a light source setting portion, a parallel light lens group, and a total reflection lens group, disposed between the parallel light lens group and the first side surface, a part of the parallel light from the parallel light lens group is subjected to total reflection at least once to form a first parallel light parallel to the front surface, and the first parallel light enters the first side surface to make the second side surface emit light; another part of the parallel light from the parallel light lens group is totally reflected at least twice to form a second parallel light oblique to the front surface, and the second parallel light enters the first side surface to make the front surface emit light.

A low voltage power system with a rail member that fits on the front portion of a shelf of a merchandise display, where is the rail member has a pair of conductive members positioned within an upper channel of the rail member is disclosed. The rail member may have supply power to a variety of low voltage power devices.

An LED lighting array system includes discrete lighting modules spatially arrayed along a support member to provide illumination of items within a display case. The modules have a low overall height that results in them being mounted in a low-profile configuration at various locations along the support member. The modules include a housing with opposed first and second sets of side apertures, a plurality of internal reflecting surfaces associated with the apertures, respectively, an external lens, a multi-sided light engine and a group of side-emitting LEDs. During operation, a first portion of light generated by the side-emitting LEDs is discharged through apertures and the lens into the cooler to illuminate contents therein, while a second portion of light generated by the side-emitting LEDs is redirected by the reflecting surface through said apertures and the lens into the cooler.
