detailed description

A luminaire is disclosed having a plurality of electrical sockets disposed on its housing. In some embodiments, the luminaire includes a driver operatively coupled to all electrical outlets (or some subset thereof) and configured to control the light output of the modular solid state light sources operatively engaged therewith. In some cases where electrical sockets are wired in series, the driver may eg be a constant current driver. In some embodiments, the luminaire includes a power line communication (PLC) module configured to output a PLC signal that is utilized by the driver to control the output of the modular light source. According to some other embodiments, the modular light source includes a driver that can control the light output using PLC signals, command signals received from a remote source, or both. In some embodiments, the electrical socket is populated on a printed circuit board (PCB), which in some cases may be foldable. According to some embodiments, the modular solid state light source can be electronically controlled to provide a master floodlight with an electronically adjustable beam distribution that can highly adjust light emission. In some cases, modular light sources may allow a master floodlight to utilize a minimal or otherwise reduced number of such light sources to produce a target beam distribution for a given space or lighting application, thereby reducing the cost and difficulty of installation and commissioning. Numerous configurations and modifications will be apparent in light of the present disclosure.

overview

Existing solid state lighting fixtures typically have a fixed beam distribution determined by their optical configuration. Therefore, these installations do not allow users to adjust the light distribution without physically modifying, moving or replacing the installation. Given these limitations of existing designs, it is often necessary to use a special set of lighting fixtures with a special candlepower distribution in order to fill a given space. For example, in the exemplary context of retail lighting, existing lighting designs utilize a series of individual solid state lights that must be individually physically aligned and focused in an overlapping fashion during installation and commissioning in order to illuminate the products on display. Additionally, the cost of these lighting designs is often high given the complexity of the mechanical equipment required to provide the desired degree of adjustability. Furthermore, there are safety considerations regarding the need for manual adjustment, repair and replacement of components of these types of systems, especially in areas not normally accessible without the use of, for example, ladders, scaffolding or aerial work platforms.

Accordingly, and in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure, a luminaire having a plurality of electrical sockets disposed above its housing is disclosed. In some embodiments, the luminaire includes a driver operatively coupled to all electrical outlets (or some subset thereof) and configured to control the light output of the modular solid state light sources operatively engaged therewith. In some cases where electrical sockets are wired in series, the driver may eg be a constant current driver. In some embodiments, the luminaire includes a power line communication (PLC) module configured to output a PLC signal that is utilized by the driver to control the output of the modular light source. According to some other embodiments, the modular light source includes a driver that can control the light output using PLC signals, command signals received from a remote source, or both. In some embodiments, the electrical receptacle is routed on a printed circuit board (PCB), which in some cases may be foldable. According to some embodiments, the modular light sources can be electronically controlled in order to provide a master floodlight with an electronically adjustable beam distribution that can highly adjust light emission. In some cases, modular light sources may allow a master floodlight to utilize a minimal or otherwise reduced number of such light sources to produce a target beam distribution for a given space or lighting application, thereby reducing the cost and difficulty of installation and commissioning.

According to some embodiments, a modular solid state light source constructed as described herein may be plugged into or otherwise operatively engaged with a given electrical socket of the disclosed luminaire. According to some embodiments, the configuration of a modular solid state light source that operatively engages an electrical socket of a luminaire can be customized according to a given target application or end use. In some cases, only those modular solid-state light sources that are required to produce a target beam distribution for a given space or target lighting application may be flood-mounted, thereby minimizing or otherwise reducing the modular solid-state light source for the flood light. total number of . In this way, the disclosed floodlights can, for example, be used to generate custom beam patterns, which allow for very flexible light distribution while achieving improvements in lighting efficiency as well as easier and less costly provisioning compared to existing solid-state floodlights. installation and commissioning. According to some embodiments, the modular solid state light source of the disclosed luminaire may allow it to be transitioned between an initial setup as a lighting design construction tool and a final setup for installation. Thus, as will be appreciated in light of this disclosure, the flexibility of beam distribution can be maintained without incurring the full cost of a complete array of solid state light sources, which would otherwise be cost prohibitive for a given lighting application. In some cases, empty electrical sockets of the disclosed luminaires can be eliminated (eg, for safety, aesthetics, etc.), such as by using filler plugs, knockouts, or other suitable elements.

According to some embodiments, the one or more solid state emitters of each modular solid state light source may be individually addressable, addressable in one or more groups, or both. Thus, the modular solid state light sources can be electronically controlled individually, in combination with each other, or both, providing a master floodlight with an electronically adjustable beam distribution that can highly adjust light emission. In some embodiments, a luminaire may be configured, for example, to be mounted on, to hang from, or to extend from a surface, such as a ceiling tile or a wall, or the like. In some other embodiments, the floodlight can be configured, for example, as a stand-alone lighting device, such as a table lamp or a floor lamp. As will be appreciated in light of the present disclosure, such a design may allow greater flexibility with respect to lighting direction and angular distribution in a relatively compact lighting installation.

According to some embodiments, a modular solid state light source constructed as described herein may include or be otherwise communicatively coupled with one or more controller and driver circuits, the one or more More controller and driver circuits can be used to electronically control the output of their solid-state emitters individually, in combination with each other, or both (e.g., as an array or group; as part of an array or group), whereby the overall ground electronically controls the output of the main floodlight. In some cases, a controller constructed as described herein may provide, for each modular solid state light source (or some subset of available modular solid state light sources), information such as beam direction, beam angle, beam distribution, beam diameter, or Electronic adjustment of any one or combination of more. In some such cases, this may allow customization of the master floodlight's beam spot size, location, angular distribution, or a combination of any one or more thereof. In some cases, the disclosed drivers may provide, for example, electronic adjustment of brightness of light, color of light, or both as desired for a given target application or end use, thereby allowing dimming, color mixing, tinting thereof or a combination of any one or more of them. According to some embodiments, solid state emitters of luminaires constructed as described herein can be controlled, for example, to manipulate beam angle and distribution without the need for mechanically moving parts and physical proximity to the luminaire. In a more general sense, and according to embodiments, the properties of the light output of a luminaire constructed as described herein may be electronically adjusted without the need for mechanical movement, in contrast to existing lighting systems. Additionally, as discussed herein, any of a wide variety of control interfaces, both wired and wireless, such as switch arrays, touch-sensitive surfaces or devices, or computer vision systems (e.g., It is eg gesture sensitive, activity sensitive or motion sensitive) to provide control of the emission of the disclosed floodlight. In some cases, a given control interface can be configured to allow a user to quickly and easily reconfigure the light distribution within a given space as desired.

According to some embodiments, the disclosed floodlights may be configured as recessed lights, pendant lights, sconces, etc., which may be mounted on or suspended from, for example, ceilings, walls, floors, steps or other suitable surfaces, as will be apparent from this disclosure. In some other embodiments, the disclosed luminaires may be configured as freestanding lighting fixtures, such as desk lamps or floor lamps. In some other embodiments, floodlights constructed as described herein may be mounted, for example, on ceiling tiles (e.g., 1 foot by 1 foot, 2 feet by 2 feet, 2 feet by 4 feet, 4 feet by 4 feet, or larger) for installation in a ceiling grid. In some other embodiments, the disclosed floodlights may be configured, for example, to replace ceiling tiles in a ceiling grid. In still other embodiments, a luminaire constructed as described herein may be partially or fully embedded within a given mounting surface (eg, glued into a ceiling, wall, or other structure). In some such cases, a seamless appearance may be provided, such as between a floodlight and the mounting surface, such that only the apertures through which the light passes are visible. Some embodiments may, for example, be configured to provide electronically tunable beam distributions without the need for mechanical movement and in a generally compact form factor. Numerous suitable configurations will be apparent from the present disclosure.

It will be appreciated in light of the present disclosure that, according to some embodiments, luminaires constructed as described herein can provide flexible and easily adaptable lighting, capable of adapting to any of a wide range of lighting applications and environments. For example, some embodiments may provide downlights that can accommodate small and large area tasks such as high intensity and directional beams with adjustable distribution. Some embodiments may provide accent lighting or area lighting of any of various distributions such as narrow, wide, asymmetrical, oblique, Gaussian, batwing or other specially shaped beam distributions. The beam output can be adjusted by turning on/off, dimming, or otherwise adjusting the intensity of various combinations of the floodlight's solid state emitters, for example to produce even illumination on a given surface, to fill a given space with light, Or generate any desired area lighting distribution. Some embodiments can be used, for example, in a wide range of lighting applications and contexts, including retail and personal healthcare, among others. Some embodiments may provide simplified light output alignment, commissioning, installation, or a combination of any one or more thereof, compared to existing designs and methods. Many suitable uses and applications will be apparent from the present disclosure.

Mechanical movement of light components. Some embodiments may provide a higher level of beam adjustability than, for example, conventional lighting designs using larger moving mechanical parts. Some embodiments may achieve cost reductions, for example, as a result of the use of longer-lived solid-state devices and simplified installation, operation, commissioning, and other labor costs. Additionally, according to some embodiments, the scalability and orientation of luminaires constructed as described herein may be altered to suit particular lighting environments or applications (e.g., downward facing, such as ceiling lighting fixtures, pendant lighting fixtures, Desk lamps, etc.; facing upwards, such as indirect lighting pointing overhead). In some cases, luminaires provided by use of the disclosed technology can be constructed, for example, as partially or fully assembled luminaire units or as discrete components (e.g., housings, solid state light sources, etc.) that can be operatively coupled as desired. modules, etc.)

In some cases, a computing device may be or otherwise may host control interface 200, as discussed below.

According to some embodiments, the control interface 200, which may be wired, wireless, or both, may be used to control the solid state light sources 120 of the luminaire 100 and can have any of a wide range of configurations therefor. For example, in some embodiments, one or more switches (eg, an array of switches) may be utilized to control the solid state emitters 122 of a given solid state light source 120 individually, in conjunction with each other, or both. As will be apparent from the present disclosure, a given switch may be of any suitable type such as, for example, a slide switch, rotary switch, toggle switch, or push button switch, among others. In some cases, switch-based control interface 200 may be operatively coupled to PLC module 148, driver 140, controller 180, or a combination thereof, which in turn interprets inputs from the control interface 200 and provides desired control signals to the One or more of the solid state emitters 122 of a given solid state light source 120 are operatively engaged by the electrical receptacle 116 of the luminaire 100 .

In some embodiments, a device having a touch-sensitive display or other touch-sensitive surface (such as a touchpad) with a contact-based user interface (UI) can be used to control given Solid state emitter 122 of solid state light source 120 is fixed. In some cases, touch-sensitive control interface 200 may be operatively coupled with PLC module 148, driver 140, controller 180, or a combination thereof, which in turn interprets input from the control interface 200 and provides desired control signals to One or more of the solid state emitters 122 of a given solid state light source 120 are operatively engaged by the electrical receptacle 116 of the light fixture 100 . In some other cases, touch-sensitive control interface 200 may be directly operatively coupled with solid state transmitter 122 for direct control of solid state transmitter 122 .

In some embodiments, computer vision systems such as gesture-sensitive, activity-sensitive, motion-sensitive, or a combination of any one or more thereof may be used to control a given Solid state emitter 122 of solid state light source 120 . In some such cases, this may provide a luminaire 100 that can automatically adjust its light emission based on certain gesture-based commands, perceived activity, or other motivating factors. In some cases, computer vision system control interface 200 may be operatively coupled with PLC module 148, driver 140, controller 180, or a combination thereof, which in turn interprets input from the control interface 200 and provides desired control signals to the One or more of the solid state emitters 122 of a given solid state light source 120 are operatively engaged by the electrical receptacle 116 of the luminaire 100 . In some other cases, computer vision system control interface 200 may be directly operatively coupled with solid state emitter 122 for direct control of solid state emitter 122 .

Additionally, as previously discussed, according to some embodiments, the individual beam spots of luminaire 100 can be controlled individually, in groups of one or more, or both, in order to provide a given target light distribution. Thus, according to some embodiments, the solid state light sources 120 of the luminaire 100 can be controlled electronically, manually, or both in order to produce a light with a given light source that can be customized as desired for a given target application or end use. An array of beam spots with a fixed amount of overlap. For example, in some embodiments, solid state light sources 120 of luminaire 100 may be controlled to produce overlapping beam spots (eg, to provide color tuning or mixing). In some other embodiments, the solid state light sources 120 of the luminaire 100 may be controlled to produce a seamless but non-overlapping array of beam spots.

In some embodiments, luminaire 100 may be configured, for example, such that no two of its solid state light sources 120 are directed to the same spot on a given incident surface. Thus, there may be a one-to-one mapping of the solid state light sources 120 of the luminaire 100 to the beam spots they can produce on a given incident surface. According to some embodiments, this one-to-one mapping may provide pixelated control over the light distribution of the luminaire 100 . That is, luminaire 100 may be capable of outputting a polarized, grid-like pattern of beam spots that may be manipulated (eg, in intensity, size, etc.), eg, a regular rectangular grid resembling a display's pixels. Similar to the pixels of a display, the beam spots generated by luminaire 100 can have a minimum, maximum, or other targeted amount of overlap as desired, according to some embodiments. According to some embodiments, this may allow the light distribution of the luminaire 100 to be manipulated in a manner similar to how the pixels of a display may be manipulated to produce different patterns, spot shapes and distributions of light. Furthermore, luminaire 100 can exhibit minimal or otherwise negligible overlap in the angular distribution of light from its solid state light sources 120, and thus the light distribution of luminaire 100 can be as desired for a given target application or end use. (e.g. in intensity, size, etc.) is adjusted. However, as will be appreciated in light of this disclosure, according to some embodiments, luminaire 100 may also be configured to provide for two or more solid state light sources 120 to be directed at the same spot (eg, such as when color mixing is desired). In a more general sense, and according to some embodiments, a solid state light source 120 may be operatively engaged with an electrical receptacle 116 mounted on a given interior surface 112 or exterior surface 114 of the housing 110 such that it is oriented to provide light from floodlight.

method

According to some embodiments, luminaire 100 can be used, for example, as a construction tool to customize light distribution for a given space or target lighting application. More specifically, the process may begin by generating a beam distribution with the luminaire 100 including the complete setup of the solid state light source 120 . 8A is a cross-sectional view of luminaire 100 including a complete setup of solid state light source 120 and associated image capture device 250 according to an embodiment of the disclosure. All (or some subset thereof) of the accompanying solid state light sources 120 may be energized to produce a beam distribution from the luminaire 100 .

The process may continue with image capture device 250 to capture an image comprising a beam spot produced by luminaire 100 and incident on a given incident surface within its field of view (FOV). For example, consider FIG. 8B , which shows a plan view of an exemplary scene including an exemplary target beam distribution within the FOV of the image capture device 250 of FIG. 8A , according to an embodiment of the disclosure. Image capture device 250 can be any device configured to capture digital images, such as a still camera (e.g., a camera configured to capture still photographs) or a video camera (e.g., a camera configured to capture moving images comprising a plurality of frames). ), and may be partially or fully integrated with the luminaire 100 or be a separate device different from the luminaire 100 . According to some embodiments, the image capture device 250 can be configured to operate by using light, eg, in the visible light spectrum, the infrared (IR) spectrum, or the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum, among others. Components of the image capture device 250 (eg, optical components, image sensors, image/video encoders) may be implemented in hardware, software, firmware, or a combination thereof. According to some embodiments, the image acquisition device 250 may be configured to acquire image data, for example, periodically, continuously, or on demand, or a combination thereof. The positioning and orientation of image capture device 250 relative to mounting surface 10 and luminaire 100 can be customized as desired. Other suitable configurations for image capture device 250 will depend on a given application and will be apparent from this disclosure.

Thereafter, the process may continue to process, analyze, or process and analyze the acquired image data in order to compare the observed beam profile to the target beam profile. To this end, image data captured by image capture device 250 may be communicated to luminaire 100 , a computing device communicatively coupled with luminaire 100 , or both. According to some embodiments, processing and analysis may be performed, eg, via processor 160, application 152, or both. If the observed beam distribution does not substantially achieve (eg, within a given tolerance of) the target light distribution, then the process may optionally continue with adjusting the light output of one or more of the solid state light sources 120 of the luminaire 100 in order to reduce the observed differences. According to some embodiments, such adjustments may be performed electronically, mechanically, or both, and may be accomplished automatically, manually, or both, as desired. In some cases, control interface 200 may be used in part or in whole in such adjustments.

Once the target beam distribution is sufficiently achieved, any solid state light sources 120 not required to maintain that distribution may optionally be removed from the luminaire 100 . Furthermore, image capture device 250 may optionally be removed, if desired. For example, consider FIG. 8C , which is a cross-sectional view of luminaire 100 after removal of several excess solid state light sources 120 and image capture devices 250 in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. As can be seen, the final luminaire 100 has fewer solid state light sources 120 than its initial configuration in FIG. 8A , yet still provides the target light distribution. According to an embodiment, any unused electrical receptacle 116 of luminaire 100 may receive a filler plug 117, knockout, or other suitable covering element (eg, for safety, aesthetics, etc.).

As will be appreciated in light of this disclosure, by transitioning luminaire 100 between its initial setup as a construction tool and its final setup for installation, the final luminaire 100 can maintain a desired degree of flexibility in beam distribution. And avoids the cost of creating a complete array of solid state light sources 120, since not all light sources in the array may be required in a given space or lighting application. Indeed, by separating the task of construction and final installation of the luminaire 100, commissioning and installation can be achieved at a lower cost than would otherwise be associated with installing the luminaire 100 with a complete array of solid-state light sources 120. Custom beam patterns available at cost.

In some cases, a solid state light source 120 for the luminaire 100 may be provided with the luminaire 100 for installation therein. In some other cases, the solid state light sources 120 for the luminaire 100 may be provided individually or in groups or collections that are sold, leased, etc. separately from the luminaire 100 .
