Abstract:
Techniques are described for a lighting system in which light sources are controllable using signals sent over a wireless mesh network. During a commissioning process, a user interface (UI) may present a representation of nodes (e.g., light sources, sensors, controllers, etc.) that are broadcasting a wireless advertising signal. In response to a selection of a particular node, a wireless message may be sent to instruct the selected node to provide a visual indication of its presence, such as a flashing light. The visual indication may enable a user to discern the physical location of the node, such that each node may be added to the mesh network and, in some instances, to a group of nodes. The UI may also enable the definition of scenes, where each scene describes the brightness level or other operating characteristics of particular light source(s) and/or group(s) of light sources when the scene is active.

Abstract:
A light emitting diode based light configured for replacing a fluorescent light in a light fixture has a housing, at least one light emitting diode (LED), a power connector at a first end of the housing configured for connection to the light fixture and configured for receiving a power signal from a power source, a dimming control connector at a second end of the housing configured for receiving a dimming control signal and a power trace. The power trace is configured to carry the power signal from the power connector to the LED, and carry the dimming control signal from the dimming control connector to the power connector, such that the power signal is controlled in response to the dimming control signal.

Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an illumination device having at least one LED and a power converter with a switching element for connection to an existing fluorescent lamp fixture including a conventional ballast. The illumination device includes a feedback circuit operable to provide a switching signal to the switching element according to a duty cycle, the feedback circuit configured to: increase the value of the duty cycle to decrease an output current signal through the at least one LED; and decrease the value of the duty cycle to increase the output current signal through the at least one LED.
