A lighting device and system having a faceplate and a backplate. The faceplate or the backplate may have an arm or a set of arms having electrical conductors to connect or couple to the electrical contact points of an outlet, plug, or switch. The operational modes may be in an emergency lighting mode and a nightlight mode. The voltage source can be connected to a light source or sensor through the control circuit or the switch, and the light source may be activated based on the output of the sensor. A controller is connected to the sensor can send or receive wireless signals through a wireless module.

Lighting apparatuses include an enclosure around first and second light engines. The enclosure has a diffuser over first, second and third regions. The first and second regions are separated by the third region; a first light spectrum is emitted from the first region; a second light spectrum is emitted from the second region; and a mixture of the spectrums is emitted from the third region. In some embodiments, the first spectrum has a CCT≥7000K; the second spectrum has a CCT≤6500K. In some embodiments, the first spectrum has a first CCT≥3500K; the second spectrum has a second CCT≤6500K; the second CCT<first CCT and the difference between the CCTs is at least 1000K. In some embodiments, the first spectrum has a color bounded by a first set of chromaticity coordinates, and the second spectrum has a color bounded by a second set.

The invention relates to a luminaire (10) comprising illuminants (170) for generating light, and a control unit (110) for controlling the illuminants (170), and at least one further element (140), in particular an operator control element (143) or a sensor (142), for generating control information that influences the operation of the luminaire (10), wherein the control unit (110) is configured in such a way that a self-test is carried out after a supply voltage has been applied to the luminaire (10). Said self-test is carried out automatically and independently in an analysis mode of the luminaire (10), wherein the control unit (110) checks the luminaire (10) for the presence and/or the functionality of the at least one further element (140). Depending on the checking result, and the type of further unit (140) checked, the control unit (110) controls the illuminants (170) such that a temporally variable light emission (171) signals the checking result. Measuring devices (200, 210, 220) are additionally specified which detect the checking result by measurement of operating parameters of the luminaire (10) and present this information preferably by way of a display (211, 221) of the measuring device (200, 210, 220). A method is likewise specified which includes checking the at least one further element (140) and controlling the illuminants (170) by means of the control unit (110).

Embodiments of a live broadcast lighting system are disclosed. In one example embodiment, the live broadcast lighting system includes a light emitting apparatus, a control box being connected to the light emitting apparatus, and a device holder coupled to the control box. The device holder can be configured to releasably retain a video recording device. The control box can include an electronic control circuit configured to control rotation of the light emitting apparatus. The device holder can be configured to be rotatable independent of the rotation of the light emitting apparatus.

A lighting device comprising a housing arranged with at least one first housing space and at least one second housing space; at least one first illumination module respectively arranged in the at least one or more first housing space and at least one first auxiliary functional module, respectively arranged in the at least one second housing spaces; wherein each of the first auxiliary functional modules includes at least one of a communication module, a sensor module or a camera module. The lighting device arranged according to an embodiment of the present invention not only satisfies the lighting demand of existing urban planning, but also facilitates the upgrading of intelligent lighting devices with such functions as temperature detection, traffic monitoring and alarm, at a low cost.
