Each light fixture of the one or more light fixtures is electrically coupled via a power line. Each light fixture of the one or more light fixtures includes a conversion module configured to convert instructions between power line communication and non-lighting control communication, a communication module configured to communicate the power line communication over the power line, and a non-lighting element controller configured to control the one or more non-lighting elements in a respective light fixture based on the instructions. | 11-07-2013 |

20150345722 | IN-GROUND LIGHT FIXTURE SYSTEM WITH IMPROVED INSTALLATION CLOSURE MECHANISM AND DRAINAGE - A lighting system includes a linear light fixture and a linear blockout structure. The linear blockout structure includes a chamber in which the linear light fixture is mountable and side walls on opposite sides of the chamber engageable by flange portions of the linear light fixture when the linear light fixture and linear blockout structure are assembled together. A hinge structure includes first and second hinge components engaging each other such that when the linear blockout structure and linear lighting fixture are being assembled, they are rotatable with respect to each other at the hinge structure. First and second fastening components engage each other to hold the linear blockout structure and linear lighting fixture assembled together with the linear light fixture being disposed within the chamber of the linear blockout structure. | 12-03-2015 |
20160044765 | Method and Apparatus for Commissioning a Lighting System - An apparatus and method for commissioning a lighting system include monitoring a clock source signal to identify the presence of a feature in the clock source signal, wherein the clock source signal is a power line communication signal carried by an AC or DC signal used to provide power to the plurality of light fixtures, generating a trigger signal with a triggering module in response to identifying the presence of the feature in the clock source signal, providing the trigger signal to each of the plurality of light fixtures to command each of the plurality of light fixtures to stop outputting light, measuring ambient light with the light sensor assigned to each light fixture; and designating each light fixture to a lighting group based on the ambient light measured with the light sensor assigned to each fixture. | 02-11-2016 |
