20090323330 | METHOD, SYSTEM AND APPARATUS FOR HIGHLY CONTROLLED LIGHT DISTRIBUTION FROM LIGHT FIXTURE USING MULTIPLE LIGHT SOURCES (LED'S) - An apparatus, method, or system of lighting units comprising a plurality of lighting elements, such as one or more LEDs, each element having an associated optic which is individually positionable. In embodiments of the present invention, one or more optics are developed using optimization techniques that allow for lighting different target areas in an effective manner by rotating or otherwise positioning the reflectors, refractive lenses, TIR lenses, or other lens types to create a composite beam. The apparatus, method, or system of lighting herein makes it possible to widely vary the types of beams from an available fixture using a small number of inventoried optics and fixtures. In some cases, by using a combination of individual beam patterns, a small set of individual optics would be sufficient to create a majority of the typical and specialized composite beams needed to meet the needs of most lighting projects and target areas. | 12-31-2009 |
20100110671 | METHOD, SYSTEM, AND APPARATUS FOR HIGHLY CONTROLLED LIGHT DISTRIBUTION FROM LIGHT FIXTURE USING MULTIPLE LIGHT SOURCES (LEDS) - Disclosed herein are apparatus, methods, and systems for deriving composite beams from a plurality of light sources such as LEDs. Optical units comprising a plurality of light sources, each source having an associated optic which is individually positionable, are developed using optimization techniques that allow for lighting different target areas in an effective manner by rotating or otherwise positioning the reflectors, refractive lenses, TIR lenses, or other lens types to create a composite beam. The apparatus, methods, and systems of lighting herein make it possible to widely vary the types of beams from an available fixture using a small number of optics and fixtures. In some cases, by using a combination of individual beam patterns from the same or different types of light sources, a small set of individual optics may be sufficient to create a majority of the typical and specialized composite beams needed to meet the needs of most lighting projects and target areas. | 05-06-2010 |
20100195326 | APPARATUS, METHOD, AND SYSTEM FOR HIGHLY CONTROLLED LIGHT DISTRIBUTION USING MULTIPLE LIGHT SOURCES - Disclosed herein are apparatus, method, and system for producing a customizable composite beam from a plurality of solid state light sources. Each light source is associated with individually adjustable fixture components which allow for a variety of lighting needs to be addressed. The composite beam is a collective of the beam projected from each adjustable component/light source combination; each individual beam being of customized shape or standard shape. | 08-05-2010 |
20110149582 | APPARATUS, METHOD, AND SYSTEM FOR ADJUSTABLY AFFIXING LIGHTING FIXTURES TO STRUCTURES - Disclosed herein are apparatus, methods, and systems for adjustably affixing an object to a structure via an armature which includes a pivotable knuckle. The armature comprises two assembly components with a set of friction plates compressed therebetween. Said armature is designed to be lightweight (compared to the object), low cost (compared to state of the art adjustable armatures), suitable for outdoor use, and adaptable so to accommodate objects of varying weights, sizes, and form factors without adding significant weight or cost to the overall system. | 06-23-2011 |

20140092593 | APPARATUS, METHOD, AND SYSTEM FOR REDUCING THE EFFECTIVE PROJECTED AREA (EPA) OF AN ELEVATED LIGHTING FIXTURE WITHOUT THE USE OF AN EXTERNAL VISOR - A design of lighting fixture is presented whereby the outer glass lens—flat in prior art lighting fixtures—is bowed outward. The design of lighting fixture permits a plurality of LED modules to be contained therein, each with their own visor, without constraining the aiming angle of each due to interference between the outer lens and each individual visor. In this manner, an external visor may be omitted thereby obviating undesirable lighting effects such as uneven lighting while still maintaining a reduced effective projected area (EPA) as compared to prior art lighting fixtures with no external visor and a flat outer glass lens. | 04-03-2014 |
