Sensor-Controlled LED Lighting: Innovations and Advancements

An LED tube lamp with an installation detection circuit that ensures proper connection to a lamp socket before lighting up. The detection circuit generates two pulses and sends them to a switch along with the LED driving signal. If the lamp is not properly connected during either pulse, the switch remains off, preventing the lamp from lighting. If the lamp is detected as properly connected during at least one pulse, the switch turns on, allowing the lamp to light up. This mechanism ensures the lamp only operates when fully installed, enhancing safety and reliability.

Intelligent variable lighting systems enhance efficiency and customization by using occupancy and ambient light sensors to autonomously adjust LED brightness. These systems dim the lights when no one is present and brighten them when occupied. Adjustable transition delays optimize energy savings while avoiding abrupt lighting changes. Additionally, the systems can be remotely managed to set specific dimming levels and delays, offering greater control and flexibility.

Illumination for optical sensors in coordinate measuring machines ensures uniform illumination of the field of view. The device features a unique arrangement of LED chips grouped into sets, with neighboring LEDs rotated relative to each other. This design allows the non-emitting areas of one LED to be illuminated by adjacent LEDs. By selectively activating these LED groups, segmented lighting is achieved, providing full illumination of the sensor field and eliminating non-uniformities from non-emitting areas.

Integrating smart lighting with building communication systems (e.g., sound systems, cameras) to provide lighting and communication in a unified fixture for simplifying installation and reducing costs compared to separate lighting and communication systems. The fixture contains LEDs, a communication apparatus (e.g., microphone, camera), and a controller. The controller receives signals from the communication apparatus to control the LEDs and provide lighting based on detected presence or other conditions. The fixture can be easily connected to a standard light fixture socket for retrofitting buildings.

Lighting fixtures use multiple discrete light sources that can be individually controlled to provide tailored lighting. The fixture has separate light sources, optics, and power control for each source, allowing precise adjustment of color, intensity, and direction. Cameras or sensors can analyze the environment or specific tasks, and software can optimize the lighting accordingly by controlling each source independently.

Lighting control system for horticulture applications that allows users to remotely monitor and control lighting schedules and levels for multiple fixtures while also receiving real-time environmental sensor data. The system uses a control gateway device that wirelessly communicates with the control server, lighting modules, and sensor modules. This enables remote control of dimming and scheduling based on sensor inputs like temperature and light levels.

Intelligent LED lighting systems that provide efficient, adjustable illumination in response to occupancy and ambient light, while saving energy. The systems have occupancy and ambient light sensors that control LED lighting levels. When occupancy is detected, lighting is set to a lower level than when the space is unoccupied. The systems also use light sensors to adjust brightness based on natural light levels. This prevents over-illumination. The sensors and LED lights are networked for remote monitoring and control.

Intelligent LED-based lighting systems that provide energy-efficient, adjustable illumination in response to occupancy and ambient light levels. The systems use occupancy sensors and ambient light sensors to detect occupants and lighting levels. A controller adjusts the LED brightness based on the sensors. It transitions between bright and dim states when occupants arrive or leave. The transition delay allows temporary absence before dimming. The brightness levels, transition delay, and other parameters can be remotely adjusted. Central control can also manage lighting based on demand and alternative energy availability.
