Lighting device assembly

A system for emitting light (such as a luminaire) includes a first light emitting diode (LED) string and a first LED driver that is electrically connected in parallel to the first LED string. The system also may include a second (or more) LED string(s), each associated with an additional LED driver. One-way conductors and normally-open switches are used so that if one LED driver fails, the remaining LED driver(s) will deliver power to the failed driver's LED string so that the light remains operational, but with a reduced brightness.

Shared power topology for LED luminaires

Lighting device

A lighting module is disclosed. The lighting module includes a light emitting diode (LED) light source, and a total internal reflection (TIR) optical assembly. The optical assembly includes a refractor configured to be located proximate to the LED light source, and a reflector configured to be attached to the refractor. The refractor is made from a material that is resistant to thermal damage when exposed to heat generated by the LED light source.

Two stage optic for LED devices

A system of networked lighting devices includes a group of lighting device fixture controllers connected in a communication chain. The communication chain provides for transfer of data packets between the lighting device fixture controllers and a central controller. Each fixture controller includes a first power input that receives power from a primary power source, and a priority switch that is configured to switch the fixture controller from the primary power source to a source of DC power upon detecting failure of the primary power source. The source of DC power is sufficient to power the fixture controller and enable the fixture controller to continue to pass a stream of data to other controllers in the communication chain, but it is not sufficient to power the fixture controller's associated lighting device.

Control system for lighting devices

A lighting device includes multiple light emitting diode (LED) channels. Each LED channel is connected in parallel to an output rail of a power converter. The power converter may be a buck regulator. Each LED channel may include an LED string of one or more LEDs, a first transistor that is electrically connected between the LED string and ground, a second transistor that is electrically connected between the first transistor and ground, and a current sensing resistor that is electrically connected between the first transistor and the second transistor. This design provides for self-regulation of current across all LED channels when another LED channel is added to or deleted from the lighting device.
