20090002978 | Linear lighting system having a spinal structure and an optical system separately installable thereon - A linear lighting system has a spinal structure or spine | 01-01-2009 |
20100321952 | LIGHT EMITTING DEVICES AND APPLICATIONS THEREOF - In one aspect, the present invention provides light emitting devices, including light fixtures and luminaires. In some embodiments, a light emitting device comprises at least one light source, a lightguide operable to receive light from the at least one light source at a first location on the lightguide, at least one light extraction region optically coupled to the lightguide and a substantially non-scattering region along a portion of the lightguide. | 12-23-2010 |
20110273886 | LUMINAIRE HAVING NON-REVEALED AREA LIGHT SOURCES - A luminaire has a shell housing with an upper shell section and a lower shell section that form an interior cavity and at least one side opening through which an observer can see into the interior cavity of the shell housing from a position below the luminaire when the luminaire is positioned overhead the observer. The interior cavity has a lower region which is hidden from the direct line-of-sight of an observer below the luminaire. At least one and suitably a plurality non-revealed upwardly facing area light sources, such as OLEDs, are supported on the lower shell section of the shell housing and disposed in the lower region of the interior cavity thereof so as to produce light within the interior cavity and so as to be hidden from the direct line-of-sight of an observer below the luminaire. Upwardly facing non-revealed area light sources can also be provided on the upper shell section of said shell housing for producing light that is directed overhead the luminaire from said upper shell section from additional area light sources that are hidden from the direct line-of-sight of an observer below the luminaire. | 11-10-2011 |
20120008321 | LUMINAIRE HAVING STRUCTURAL WALL WITH SELF-CAPTURING WIRE CHASE - The structural wall of a luminaire has one or more light source retention cavities for holding area light sources such as OLED panels, and a wire chase or chases that extend from one light source cavity to another light source cavity in the structural wall, and/or from a light source cavity to a wire feed point for the structural wall. The wire chase or chases have a wire retaining bottom channel and a constricted wire entry opening at the top of the wire chase that is narrow in relation to the wire retaining bottom channel for capturing the wires therein. In another aspect of the invention, the wire chase or chases can be manufactured as separate parts, which can be inserted into the structural wall of the luminaire. | 01-12-2012 |
20120294016 | LOADABLE CASSETTE FOR OPERATIVELY HOLDING A PLANAR LIGHT SOURCE - A loadable cassette | 11-22-2012 |
20120300437 | CONFIGURABLE CEILING LIGHTING SYSTEM - A configurable ceiling lighting system for a grid ceiling comprising at least one and preferably a plurality of driver panels having a bottom and a defined perimeter sized to allow the driver panel to be set into and retained within the grid openings of a ceiling grid. The driver panel has at least one and preferably a plurality of electrical connectors accessible from the bottom of the driver panel. At least one and preferably a plurality of light modules are provided having a light source and an electrical connector complimentary to the electrical connectors of the panel drivers. The light modules can be operatively connected to the bottom of the ceiling panel drivers at selected connection points to produced desired arrays of ceiling lighting fixtures to meet particular lighting needs. | 11-29-2012 |
20130147398 | ELECTRICAL INTERCONNECT SYSTEM FOR THIN BODY STRUCTURES - An electrical interconnect system is comprised of at least one and suitably a plurality of thin body light sources, such as OLED panels, to be electrified. The thin body light source or sources have a thin profile and include a back side provided with surface contact electrodes for energizing the thin body light sources, which can be relatively large area electrodes for providing a relatively large contact surface area. A connector circuit supported by a thin body support structure is provided for making desired electrical connections between thin body light sources or to a voltage or current source when the thin body support structure is brought into engagement with the thin body light sources. | 06-13-2013 |
20130294067 | LIGHTING SYSTEM RECONFIGURABLE BY GESTURAL CONTROL - A luminaire, such as a ceiling suspended luminaire, that can change its shape or some other state or characteristic based on user-input. The changes of shape or other state or characteristic can be achieved by hand gestures, such as moving the hand up and down in the detection field of a sensor. In one aspect of the invention, a suspended luminaire having a flexible sheet form is provided. The shape or attitude of the sheet form luminaire can be changed by exerting a force on one or more attachment points on the luminaire. | 11-07-2013 |
20130294079 | TWO-DIMENSION CONFIGURABLE LIGHTING SYSTEM WITH ENHANCED LIGHT SOURCE PLACEMENT CAPABILITIES - A lighting system having neural hubs that connect to other neural hubs in a manner that allows a lighting system to be configured in a two dimensional pattern that can propagate out from a single neural hub. Straight sections can be provided for use in connection with the neural hubs to enhance the configurability of the lighting system. | 11-07-2013 |
