Embodiments include a lighting device that includes a first illumination source comprising a light-emitting diode (LED) of a first color that generates a first light output with a first melanopic ratio of greater than 0.8, and a second illumination source comprising an LED of a second color that generates a second light output with a second melanopic ratio that is less than the first melanopic ratio. The lighting device also includes a light distribution unit for directing and distributing illumination generated by the first and second illumination sources, where at least one of the first illumination source and the second illumination source is affixed to the light distribution unit, and where the first and second illumination sources are oriented relative to one another such that their respective light outputs are directed in different directions.

Embodiments include a lighting device that includes a first illumination source comprising a light-emitting diode (LED) of a first color that generates a first light output with a first melanopic ratio of 0.4 to 1.2, and a second illumination source comprising an LED of a second color that generates a second light output with a second melanopic ratio that is less than the first melanopic ratio. The lighting device also includes a light distribution unit for directing and distributing illumination generated by the first and second illumination sources, where at least one of the first illumination source and the second illumination source is affixed to the light distribution unit, and where the first and second illumination sources are oriented relative to one another such that their respective light outputs are directed in different directions.

Luminaries, fixtures, systems and methods of providing both spectrally and spatially targeted illumination are disclosed. Intelligent lighting systems with programmable interfaces for customizing spectral and spatial light output to an individual user are also disclosed. Lighting fixtures including table and floor lamps with adjustable spectral output designed to coordinate with the time of day and human circadian rhythms are described. Adjustable light distribution units that provide for both indirect lighting and task lighting that may be independently varied with respect to color so as to illuminate and facilitate circadian rhythm regulation are also disclosed.

Systems and methods for controlling the spectral content of LED lighting devices

Embodiments of the invention relate to fixtures, systems and methods for providing vegetation grow light fixtures with auxiliary power and/or data communication ports or hubs allowing for expansion of their functionality, modularity and adaptability. The addition of power or communication ports integrated with a grow light fixture enables other components to be connected directly to and powered by the grow light fixture. Such components may include but are not limited to supplemental lighting, sensors and actuators.

Lighting device

A device to detect occupancy of an environment includes a sensor to capture video frames from a location in the environment. The device may compare rules with data using a rules engine. The microcontroller may include a processor and memory to produce results indicative of a condition of the environment. The device may also include an interface through which the data is accessible. The device may generate results respective to the location in the environment. The microcontroller may be in communication with a network. The video frames may be concatenated to create an overview to display the video frames substantially seamlessly respective to the location in which the sensor is positioned. The overview may be viewable using the interface and the results of the analysis performed by the rules engine may be accessible using the interface.

Occupancy sensor and associated methods

A lighting device capable of detecting a condition in an environment includes a sensor to capture a video frame from a location in the environment. The lighting device may include a microcontroller, a processor and memory. The sensor may be electrically connected to the microcontroller, and the video frame may be transmitted to the microcontroller as data. The lighting device may also include a light source electrically connected to and controlled by the microcontroller and a rules engine stored in the memory. The processor may compare the data to rules contained in the rules engine to produce an output. The lighting device may further include an interface through which the output is accessible. After an analysis is conducted, an output may be generated responsive to detection of an anomaly.

Intelligent security light and associated methods

A luminaire may include a wall mount and a driver circuit housing connected to the wall mount. The luminaire may also include a camera housing connected to the driver circuit housing, a light source housing connected to the camera housing, and a light source array that includes a plurality of light sources carried by the light source housing. The luminaire may include a prism, a heat sink in thermal communication with the light source array, and a camera carried by the camera housing. The luminaire may also include a sensor and a driver circuit carried by the driver circuit housing. The camera and/or the sensor may be configured to detect the presence and vicinity of an object in the target area. The light sources may be configured to emit light to illuminate the vicinity of the object sensed in the target area.

Self-calibrating multi-directional security luminaire and associated methods

A luminaire carried by a lighting fixture, having a generally concave-shaped housing defining an optical chamber and an aperture, and a plurality of lighting devices each having a heat sink, a light source, and a magnetic attachment member. Each lighting device may be positioned about the inner surface of the housing. The magnetic attachment member may magnetically bind a lighting device to pads proximate to ferromagnetic material in the housing. Light emitted by the light source may enter the optical chamber and pass through the aperture in a generally orthogonal direction in relation to the orientation of the device. Electrical power may be delivered by one or more power supply units of either an external or an on-board type, and by using either inductive or conductive coupling. Network interfaces may enable communication of control instructions among a multiple controllers located either within a single luminaire or distributed among multiple luminaires.
