摘要： Disclosed is a lighting fixture (10) that illuminates a presentation object or surface. The lighting fixture includes a first member (18) that at least partially surrounds or encompasses the presentation object and has a plurality of LED-based light sources (12) which can create a variety of lighting effects based on one or more characteristics of the presentation object. The lighting fixture further has a sensor (34) that detects a characteristic of the presentation object, and a controller (26) connected to the sensor such that, as a result of the individual addressability of the LED-based light sources, create or modify a directional lighting effect based on the detected characteristic.

摘要： Lighting units, lighting systems, and methods are described herein for automatic and decentralized commissioning of a replacement lighting unit (140, 150, 250). In various embodiments, a replacement lighting unit may receive, from one or more remote lighting units over one or more communication networks, one or more identifiers associated with the one or more remote lighting units. The replacement lighting unit may also receive, from at least one of the one or more remote lighting units over the one or more communication networks, the lighting operation parameters associated with an inoperative lighting unit. The replacement lighting unit may then selectively energize one or more light sources (258) associated with the replacement lighting unit to emit light having one or more properties indicated in the lighting operation parameters associated with the inoperative lighting unit.

摘要： A lifestyle lighting solution using a controller with program codes for managing night time illumination is disclosed; wherein the night time illumination is divided into at least two illumination modes including a regular illumination mode for providing early evening illumination and an user friendly illumination mode for providing a mid night illumination with a soft on process to avoid or mitigate an eye irritating hardship. The conversion time point to switch from a regular illumination mode to an user friendly illumination mode is controlled by a timer configured in an external control device. The timer is programmed to operate one of three time setting methods including an anytime setting method, a fixed time point setting method and a fixed time period method.
