20160150613 | LED POWER SUPPLY DEVICE - An LED power supply device disclosed in the present specification includes a DC dimmer circuit that performs dimming control of an LED such that the higher a reference voltage variably controlled according to a dimmer signal is, the smaller a current flowing in the LED is. This configuration makes it possible to achieve fine dimming control. | 2016-05-26 |
20160150614 | LIGHTING APPARATUS AND METHODS PROVIDING VARIABLE ILLUMINATION CHARACTERISTICS BASED ON OBJECT DETECTION - A system includes at least one light-emitting device configured to be mounted on a stationary structure, such as a lighting pole or parking structure. A control circuit is operatively coupled to the at least one light-emitting device and configured to detect an object in a vicinity of the at least one light-emitting device and to vary a characteristic of illumination produced by the at least one light-emitting device responsive to the detection of the object. | 2016-05-26 |
20160150615 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING A PASSIVE COLOR CONTROL SCHEME USING BLUE AND RED EMITTERS - A lighting device capable of generating warm or neutral white light using blue light-emitting diodes (“LEDs”), red LEDs, and/or luminescent material that responds to blue LED emission is disclosed. The lighting device includes multiple first solid-state light-emitting structures (“SLSs”), second SLSs, and balancing resistor element. The first SLS such as a string of blue LED dies connected in series is able to convert electrical energy to blue optical light, which is partially turned into longer wavelength emission by the luminescent material. The second SLS such as a red LED die is configured to convert electrical energy to red optical light, wherein the second SLSs are connected in series. While the first SLSs and second SLSs are coupled in parallel, the balancing resistor element provides load balance for current redistribution between the first and second SLSs in response to fluctuation of operating temperature. | 2016-05-26 |
20160150616 | TEMPERATURE ADJUSTED DIMMING CONTROLLER - Systems and methods are disclosed for adjusting the correlated color temperature (CCT) reflecting the warmth of emitted light for a non-tungsten based lighting device as intensity of the lighting device is modified. The CCT of the non-tungsten based lighting device is determined at a lighting control device that can provide fixture-dependent driver levels to various lighting devices of varying types. A lighting controller engine can determine a white component color temperature value based on a desired intensity level and a default CCT value received via a user interface of the lighting control device. The lighting control device can determine the driver levels for controlling characteristics of light emitted from the non-tungsten based lighting device based on the white component color temperature value and a user defined color level. The lighting control device can scale the white component color temperature to reflect variations of warmth as the intensity level is adjusted. | 2016-05-26 |
