82 results about "Track lighting" patented technology

Track lighting is a method of lighting where light fixtures are attached anywhere on a continuous track device which contains electrical conductors. This is in contrast to directly routing electrical wiring to individual light positions. Tracks can either be mounted to ceilings or walls, lengthwise down beams, or crosswise across rafters or joists. They can also be hung with rods from especially high places like vaulted ceilings.

Light emitting diode lighting system

A lighting system for generating an illumination product comprises an excitation source, blue / UV LED, operable to generate excitation radiation and a remotely located phosphor, photo luminescent material. Excitation radiation is guided from the excitation source to the phosphor by a waveguiding medium, the waveguiding medium being configured such that the distance the radiation travels from the excitation source to the phosphor layer is at least one centimeter in length. The UV / blue excitation source provides excitation radiation to the phosphor(s), causing the phosphor(s) to photo luminesce, and it may also provide a component of the final illumination product. The configuration of the waveguide allows a greater flexibility in lighting system configurations, such as hanging lighting fixtures, desk lighting fixtures, floor standing lighting fixtures, desk lamps, track lighting, spot lighting, accent lighting, lighting panels, inspection lamps and endoscopes.

Remotely controllable track lighting system

A remotely controllable track lighting system includes a track mountable to a support structure, such as a wall or ceiling, with lamps that are supported on the track that are individually controlled by a wireless remote. Each lamp on the track may be set to respectively different intensity levels (e.g., high, mid, low, off) or the user can uniformly control the lamps to be set to the same intensity level. Advantageously, all of the lamps may be set, upon initially turning on the lamps or at another time as desired, to their respective previously set intensity levels. The track system may also be powered via a wall switch where initially turning on the lamps via the wall switch advantageously causes all of the lamps to return to their respective previously set intensity levels or the user can move the wall switch off then on within a short period of time (e.g., 3 seconds) to cause all of the lamps to be set high. Other features and variations also are provided.

Power distribution system

The invention relates a power distribution system (1) like a track lighting system comprising a power supply (2), a power bar (3) comprising several electrical conductors (4, 5, 6) for distributing the power, an electrical load (12) to be powered by the power of the power distribution system, a selector switch (11) connected to the several electrical conductors and to the electrical load, wherein the selector switch is adapted to select via which electrical conductor the power is to be received by the electrical load, and a controlling device (10) for automatically controlling the selector switch. This kind of power distribution system provides a relatively large variability of adapting the power consumption to an actual load situation, which can lead to an improved performance of the power distribution system. In particular, power balancing can be provided in a relatively simple way by automatically controlling the selector switch accordingly.
