LUMINAIRE AND METHODOLOGIES FOR COMBINED VISIBLE ILLUMINATION AND DEACTIVATION OF BACTERIA

Abstract

A controller for a disinfection system comprises a processor and memory comprising data accessible to the processor and firmware which when executed by the processor cause the controller to perform operations. The operations comprising causing a first light source to emit a white light into a space, and causing, during an emission of the white light, a second light source to emit pulses of visible cleansing light including one or more wavelengths of light that deactivate bacteria into the space at pulse times concurrent with the emission of the white light from the first light source. The controller controls the first and second light sources such that an intensity of a pulse emission of the visible cleansing light is higher than an intensity of the white light emission for all states of the space regardless of whether the space is occupied or unoccupied by a human.

Abstract

A multi-region lighting system for flat illumination with color balancing includes one or more light sources and an optic. The optic includes a first ridge structure. The first ridge structure is disposed in a first region at a center of the optic. The first region is for diverging light in an outward direction from the center. A second ridge structure is disposed in a second region at an outer portion of the optic for directing light downward using total internal reflection, where a direction from the one or more light sources toward the optic defines a downward direction.

The method further includes forming a lighting control group by the following steps. First, iteratively transmitting, via the provisioning device, a flashing command to each lighting system element to cause a light source on a lighting system element to flash in order of the determined signal strengths from highest to lowest. Second, determining whether the lighting system element with the light source flashing is being added to the lighting control group. Third, assigning, via the provisioning device, some or all of the lighting system elements to the lighting control group based on the determination.

Abstract

A luminaire includes a luminaire control circuit and a disinfection light source to emit a disinfection light in an ultraviolet (UV) band for disinfecting a vicinity of a space of a target pathogen that is exposed to the disinfection light. The UV band is 200 nanometers (nm) to 230 nm wavelength. The luminaire initiates a dose cycle of a vicinity in which the disinfection light source emits the disinfection light continuously or during a plurality of periods of a dose cycle from the disinfection light source by recording a beginning time of the dose cycle. The luminaire controls, via a driver circuit, the disinfection light source over the dose cycle to emit the disinfection light continuously or during the plurality of periods for disinfecting the vicinity to substantially obtain a target pathogen UV radiation level and restrict a total UV radiation threshold exposure level by a UV radiation threshold limit.

Abstract

Interactions between a training server and a plurality of environment controllers are used for updating the weights of a predictive model used by a neural network executed by the plurality of environment controllers. Each environment controller executes the neural network using a current version of the predictive model to generate outputs based on inputs, modifies the outputs, and generates metrics representative of the effectiveness of the modified outputs for controlling the environment. The training server collects the inputs, the corresponding modified outputs, and the corresponding metrics from the plurality of environment controllers. The collected inputs, modified outputs and metrics are used by the training server for updating the weights of the current predictive model through reinforcement learning. A new predictive model comprising the updated weights is transmitted to the environment controllers to be used in place of the current predictive model.

Abstract

An example control system includes a set of light fixtures connected to a hub, where each light fixture includes a hub-communication device configured to communicate with the hub and a direct communication device configured to communicate directly with other light fixtures. Together, the light fixtures form a mesh network facilitated by the use of their direct communication devices. An external device communicates an instruction to a light fixture, and the instruction is propagated throughout the mesh network through communications among the light fixtures using their respective direct communication devices. As a result, each light fixture to which the instruction applies receives and complies with the instructions. The light fixtures are also configured to receive instructions from the hub, such that a light fixture is configured to receive instructions over dual networks.

Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) on a surface exposed to illumination from the luminaire. A controller coupled to the sources pulses the violet light source at an irregular rate and interval over a time period to apply a deactivation dosage of the violet light to bacteria within range of the emissions. When ON, the violet source emits light for deactivating bacteria at an intensity higher than the concurrent intensity of the white light.

Abstract

A luminaire or lighting control device includes a network interface with a transceiver configured for communication via a lighting control network for lighting control and systems operations. The device can include a light source to emit illumination lighting, a driver circuit to control operation of the light source, and a power supply. The device includes a processor coupled to the network interface, and a memory accessible to the processor that stores a battery level threshold. The device includes programming in the memory. Execution of the programming by the processor configures the device to implement the following functions. First, the device receives a lighting control message. Second, the device determines a battery level of a power switch. Finally, in response to the battery level of the power switch being less than the battery level threshold, the device controls the luminaire or another luminaire to enter a low battery mode.
