The present application discloses systems and methods for providing low voltage power for low voltage lighting sources, e.g., so-called landscape lighting. A low voltage lighting power supply includes an enclosure and a power circuit enclosed in the enclosure. In some embodiments the power circuit has a primary side and a secondary side. The primary side accepts power from a main power source and the secondary side has a plurality of separate output power circuits, each output power circuit generating a separate low voltage lighting power signal capable of lighting a plurality of low voltage light sources and each being rated for a particular output.

Low voltage lighting power supply systems and methods

A system for and method of regulating the current through a string of LEDs using differential current regulating circuits such that certain segments of the string produce more light output than other segments to regulate the color temperature of the total light output by the string such that a warm dim function may be enabled.

Power supply enclosure

A method of dimming an LED luminaire and a dimmable LED luminaire includes two pluralities of LEDs. The first plurality emits electromagnetic radiation at a first frequency to react with a remote phosphor and provide a phosphor illumination. The second plurality of LEDs are phosphor LEDs that emit phosphor electromagnetic radiation at a second frequency to react with the remote phosphor and provide double-phosphor illumination. The phosphors and LEDs are configured to produce specific color points when the LEDs are at full power and at full dim. When the luminaire receives a dimming signal, the first plurality of LEDs dim the phosphor illumination over a majority of the luminaire's illumination range, but the second plurality of LEDs continue to receive constant current and provide undimmed double-phosphor illumination over the majority of the luminaire's illumination range.

Lighting fixture

A lighting assembly includes a lighting unit having a housing defining an internal cavity and an opening. A light source is assembled within the internal cavity of the housing. An electrical wire is electrically connected to the light source at a first end and is configured to be contained at least in part within the housing. The opening is configured to permit withdrawal of a user selected amount of the electrical wire from within the internal cavity and/or to permit a user selected amount of the electrical wire to be inserted into the internal cavity.

Positionable lighting systems and methods

An irreversible electrical base for irreversibly converting an incandescent lighting product to a low-power lighting product is provided. Various methods of converting an incandescent lighting product to a low-power lighting product and converting a low-power lighting product to an incandescent lighting product, are provided. Various non-threaded incandescent light bulbs, non-threaded halogen incandescent light bulbs, and non-threaded LED-based light bulbs are provided. A keyless lighting fixture having an insert and twist connector is provided.

Incandescent and LED light bulbs and methods and devices for converting between incandescent lighting products and low-power lighting products

An exemplary subterranean hub for an outdoor system for distributing electrical power to a plurality of fixtures is provided, the hub having a body, a plurality of electrical connectors disposed on the body and adapted to accept mating connectors from a corresponding fixtures, means for electrically coupling an external power source to the electrical connectors, and a depth reference marker, connected to the body and adapted to provide a visual verification that the hub is buried at a sufficient depth during installation of the hub.
