Devices and methods for protecting against a surge in a luminaire are provided. For example, a controller for use with a luminaire is provided. The controller can include a first circuit configured to sense a surge in voltage or current. The controller can further include a second circuit configured to switch a relay in response to the first circuit having sensed the surge in voltage or current.

Method of protecting and detecting a surge event in a node

Provided is a control system for an outdoor communication system mounted to a fixture of the outdoor communication system that includes at least one sensor configured to sense and perform wireless communication, and a cover formed at least partially transparent and configured to house the at least one sensor and transmit signals through the cover for wireless communication with the outdoor communication system.

Control system for an outdoor communication system

A networked light control system includes light sensor circuitry that includes plural light sensors configured to sense an ambient light level, a control unit configured to generate a control signal that activates or deactivates one or more lights in a network of lights based on the ambient light level that is sensed by the light sensor circuitry, and relay logic circuitry configured to open or close a relay or a solid state switch for activating or deactivating the one or more lights based on receipt of the control signal generated by the control unit. The relay logic circuitry is configured to control the relay or the solid-state switch responsive to a failure in the control unit.

Networked light control system and method

Provided is a controller for use with a luminaire. The controller that includes a processor connected to at least one lead of a receptacle included in the luminaire. The processor can be programmed to multiplex at least one lead of the receptacle to achieve at least one of a plurality functions.

Controller for a luminaire

Cover for photosensor and electric meter

A dimmable LED lamp assembly includes a power supply configured to receive an input power signal and produce a DC lamp current, a LED lamp coupled to the DC lamp current and configured to produce an amount of light corresponding to an amount of the DC lamp current, and a dimming controller coupled to the power supply and configured to adjust the amount of DC lamp current. The dimming controller is coupled to the input power signal and is further configured to determine a required dimming level based on the input power signal and to adjust the amount of DC lamp current such that the amount of light produced by the LED lamp corresponds to the determined required dimming level.

LED lamp with duty cycle dimming

An LED lamp assembly includes a power supply configured to receive an input power signal and provide a DC lamp current, a dimming controller coupled to the power supply and configured to adjust the DC lamp current, and an LED lamp coupled to the DC lamp current. The dimming controller is configured to determine if full brightness or dimmed brightness is required based at least in part on the input power signal. The DC lamp current is maintained at a first level when full brightness is required and at a second level when dimmed brightness is required.
