摘要:
Solid-state lamps having an electronically adjustable light beam distribution are disclosed. In accordance with some embodiments, a lamp configured as described herein includes a plurality of solid-state emitters (addressable individually and/or in groupings) mounted over a non-planar interior surface of the lamp. The interior mounting surface can be concave or convex, as desired, and may be of hemispherical or hyper-hemispherical geometry, among others, in accordance with some example embodiments. In some embodiments, the heat sink of the lamp may be configured to provide the interior mounting surface, whereas in some other embodiments, a separate mounting interface, such as a parabolic aluminized reflector (PAR), a bulged reflector (BR), or a multi-faceted reflector (MR), may be included to such end. Also, the lamp may include one or more focusing optics for modifying its output. In some cases, a lamp provided as described herein may be configured for retrofitting existing lighting structures.

A luminaire having an electronically adjustable light beam distribution is disclosed. In accordance with some embodiments, the disclosed luminaire includes a housing, for example, of hemi-cylindrical, oblate hemi-cylindrical, oblong elliptical, or polyhedral shape. The disclosed luminaire also includes a plurality of solid-state light sources arranged over its housing, in accordance with some embodiments. The one or more solid-state emitters of a given solid-state light source may be addressable individually and/or in one or more groupings, in some embodiments. As such, the solid-state light sources can be electronically controlled individually and/or in conjunction with one another, providing for highly adjustable light emissions from the host luminaire, in accordance with some embodiments. One or more heat sinks may be mounted on the housing to assist with heat dissipation for the solid-state light sources. The luminaire can be configured, for example, to be mounted or as a free-standing lighting device, as desired.

摘要:
Techniques are disclosed to operate a luminaire so as to reduce glare experience by an occupant within an area illuminated by a luminaire. The luminaire includes individually operated light sources. An image capture device is deployed for capturing an image of an area. Operatively coupled to the luminaire and the image capture device is a computing system. The computing is configured to reduce glare by adjusting a light intensity of a light source of the luminaire. These adjustments are based on, for example, a position of an occupant within the area and a direction in which the occupant is facing relative to the luminaire, and/or a position of an indirect glare source.

A metal halide fill for a discharge lamp is provided that is comprised of mercury and a mixture of metal halide salts which includes magnesium iodide as a full or partial replacement for calcium iodide. The replacement of at least some of the calcium iodide improves the behavior of the molten salt condensate in the arc tube. In particular, the mixture of metal halide salts contains about 1 to about 50 mole percent sodium iodide, about 15 to about 50 mole percent of a rare earth iodide, about 10 to about 30 mole percent magnesium iodide, about 10 to about 25 mole percent of indium iodide, and about 0 to about 25 mole percent calcium iodide, wherein the sum of the amounts of calcium iodide and magnesium iodide in the mixture is from about 20 to about 45 mole percent.

A thallium-free metal halide fill for ceramic metal halide lamps is provided wherein the fill comprises mercury, sodium iodide, an alkaline earth iodide selected from calcium iodide, strontium iodide, barium iodide, or combinations thereof, and a rare-earth iodide selected from cerium iodide, dysprosium iodide, holmium iodide, thulium iodide, or combinations thereof. In a preferred embodiment, the fill allows dimming of discharge lamps containing same to about 60% of rated power without substantially affecting the color of the emitted light.
摘要:
A single-ended arc discharge vessel for a metal halide lamp includes a U-shaped arc discharge chamber that has two juxtaposed subchambers with a divider wall therebetween and a passageway around the divider wall that connects the two subchambers to each other. The vessel has two parallel electrodes in a same end of the vessel that is opposite the passageway. Each of the electrodes extends into a respective one of the two subchambers a distance less than a height of the divider wall so that the arc discharge between the electrodes is U-shaped. This arrangement moves the vessel cold spot away from the electrodes to permit higher operating temperatures and increases arc gap length for a given vessel size to permit a higher lamp voltage.
