An inventive apparatus includes a substrate and a set of multiple electrically conductive traces. The substrate is transparent or reflective for visible light. The electrically conductive traces are sufficiently transparent, or are less than 200 μm wide and occupy less than 25% of an areal extent of the set, so as to enable visual observation of a scene through or reflected by the substrate along a sight line that passes through the set of electrically conductive traces.

Low-density electrical traces on a transparent or reflective substrate

A lighting device includes a first LED configured to emit a first light, a second LED configured to emit a third light, a first phosphor disposed over the first LED and second LED, and arranged to absorb a portion of the first light and in response emit a second light of a longer wavelength than the first light, and a second phosphor disposed over the second LED, the second phosphor arranged to absorb a portion of the third light and in response emit a fourth light of a longer wavelength than the third light, and the fourth light exits the second phosphor into the first phosphor, and both the second light and fourth light exit the lighting device though the first phosphor.

An illumination system can produce a dynamically variable illumination pattern. The illumination system can include a light guide. The illumination system can include projection optics, which can contribute to the illumination pattern at relatively low beam angles (i.e., beam angles formed with respect to a surface normal of the light guide). The projection optics can include individually addressable light-producing elements that can direct light through one or more focusing elements. A controller can control which of the light-producing elements are electrically powered and can therefore control the illumination pattern contribution from the projection optics. The illumination system can also include scattering optics, which can contribute to the illumination pattern at relatively high beam angles. The scattering optics can direct light out of the light guide over a relatively large surface area, which can help reduce glare when the light guide is viewed directly.

Integrated optical system for dynamic diffuse and directional lighting

Light emitting devices having a first LED with a first phosphor, a second LED with a second phosphor and a third LED with a third phosphor to emit a composite white light are described. The first LED and first phosphor emit the red spectral component, the second LED and the second phosphor emit the blue spectral component and the third LED and third phosphor emit the green spectral component of the composite white light. The green spectral component has at least 30% radiant flux in a deep red spectral wavelength region.

Tunable lighting system with preferred color rendering

Tunable LED lighting systems, devices and methods are described herein. A light emitting device includes at least a first phosphor-converted LED configured to emit light having a desaturated orange color point characterized by CIE 1976 color coordinates 0.3&#x3c;u'&#x3c;0.35 and v&#x2032;&#x3e;0.52 and at least a second phosphor-converted LED configured to emit light having a cyan color point characterized by CIE 1976 color coordinates 0.15&#x3c;u&#x2032;&#x3c;0.20 and 0.47&#x3c;v&#x2032;&#x3c;0.52. The first phosphor-converted LED and the second phosphor-converted LED are arranged to combine the light emitted by the first phosphor-converted LED with the light emitted by the second phosphor-converted LED to provide a white light output from the light emitting device.

Color tunable light emitting diode (LED) systems, LED lighting systems, and methods

Techniques and devices are provided for sensing image data from a scene and activating primary light sources based on information sensed from the scene. Subsets of a plurality of primary light sources may be activated to emit sensing spectrum of light onto a scene. Combined image data may be sensed from the scene while the subsets of the plurality of primary light sources are activated. Reflectance information for the scene may be determined based on the combined image data and combined sensing spectra. Spectrum optimization criteria for the primary light sources may be determined based on the reference information and a desired output parameter provided by a user or determined by a controller. The plurality of primary light sources may be activated to emit a lighting spectrum based on the spectrum optimization criteria.
