Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a control system for a disinfecting light system that uses a disinfecting light fixture to illuminate a space and kill bacteria. The system includes a controller that adjusts the amount of disinfecting energy and illuminating light provided to the space based on data collected from the space. This allows the system to automatically adjust the amount of disinfecting energy based on the bacterial load or other environmental characteristics of the space, ensuring that the space is disinfected to the desired level and optimizing energy usage. The technical effects of this patent include improved efficiency and effectiveness of disinfecting light systems in killing bacteria and reducing energy waste.

Problems solved by technology

UV systems include remote controlled robots and lockable rooms, which can only be used when a room is not occupied, which is not always feasible.

Abstract

Control systems for disinfecting light systems and methods of regulating operations of disinfecting light systems are disclosed. The control system may include a controller operably coupled to a disinfecting light fixture illuminating a space. The controller may regulate an operation of the disinfecting light fixture by adjusting an amount of disinfecting energy provided to the space by the disinfecting light fixture and / or adjusting an amount of illuminating light provided to the space by the disinfecting light fixture. The amount of disinfecting energy may be adjusted based on data relating to the space including disinfecting energy provided to the space, a bacterial load of the space, and / or environmental characteristic(s) of the space. Additionally, the amount of illuminating light may be adjusted based on data relating to the space including environmental characteristic(s) of the space, and / or a predetermined operational schedule for the space.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 62 / 440,208, filed 29 Dec. 2016, and U.S. application Ser. No. 15 / 856,971, filed 28 Dec. 2017, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The disclosure relates generally to illumination, and more particularly, to control systems for a disinfecting light emitting diode (LED) lighting system and methods of regulating operations of the disinfecting LED lighting systems.[0003]Light-emitting devices are a primary requirement in most indoor occupied environments to provide illumination of the area, of tasks being completed in the area, and of the area's occupants and objects. Alternative light sources have been created with additional performance factors in mind that utilize emitted light in different manners. Lighting fixtures and devices for horticulture, health, warmth, and disinfection have been demonstrated. In addition to be...
