Abrégé

Systems and methods for reconfiguration of illumination products are presented. An illumination product comprises components that implement a device access framework to facilitate access to the configuration of the illumination product by external components. Components internal to or otherwise associated with the illumination product codify various configuration parameters associated with the illumination product in one or more files (e.g., text files) and/or file attributes (e.g., filenames). One or more external components coupled to the internal components use a file access API to read from, write to, and/or otherwise manipulate the files (e.g., modify file content and/or file attributes) so as to access and/or affect the configuration parameters. Changes to the configuration parameters invoked by the external components are detected by the internal components and applied to the configuration (e.g., operational settings) of the illumination product.

Abrégé

A circuit for mitigating electric shock including an external impedance detection circuit (120) and a test and holdoff circuit (140). The external impedance detection circuit detects a presence of an external impedance (R16), such as by detecting a relative change in voltage from a startup condition and a test condition. The test and holdoff circuit inhibits operation of a power converter which delivers power to be consumed by a load. The startup condition is defined by mains power applied to the circuit with negligible power consumed by a load. The test condition is defined by non-zero power delivered to the load. According to another aspect, the external impedance detection circuit measures an input voltage using a high input power which is greater than a shock hazard threshold at a duration less than a threshold time duration and determines the presence of the external impedance based on low pass filters having different time constants.

A light emitting diode lamp includes a light source configured to emit light that defines a spectral power distribution curve including a first power peak and a second power peak with a first reduced power area extending there between. The first reduced power area defines a first reduced power area minimum in a green color region of the spectral power distribution curve and the spectral power distribution curve compares a power of the light versus a wavelength of the light.

Abrégé

A switching power supply circuit has a control circuit for current-mode on-off control of a primary switch connected to an inductor in a voltage boost topology for operation in boundary-conduction mode. The time at which the primary switch is opened is determined by magnitude of current flowing through the primary switch together with the instantaneous voltage present on an AC input to the power supply circuit. The time at which the primary switch is closed is determined by demagnetization of the inductor. An improvement to the foregoing switching power supply circuit comprises a maximum- on-time enforcement circuit to limit the maximum possible primary switch on-time to a predetermined maximum period of time. The enforcement circuit provides a signal to the control circuit to cause termination of the primary switch on-state if and only if the primary switch has been turned on for more than the predetermined maximum period of time.

Abrégé

Disclosed is a fight-powered transmitter assembly for transmitting a wireless signal relating to received light. The assembly comprises a photovoltaic device and an energy storage device connected to the photovoltaic device for receiving charge from the photovoltaic device. A threshold charge-sensing circuit connects to the energy storage device for making a determination whenever the charge of the energy storage device reaches a threshold level. A transmitting circuit, responsive to the threshold charge-sensing circuit, transmits a wireless signal that is indicative of the energy storage device having reached the threshold level of charge and that uniquely identifies the wireless signal as coming from the light-powered transmitter assembly. The transmitting circuit is at least partially powered from energy received from the energy storage device. An interval between two successive ones of the determinations is a function of average intensity of light received by the photovoltaic device.

Abrégé

A photovoltaic conversion assembly comprises an optical slab with first and second major surfaces and an intermediate surface therebetween. Light energy to be collected impinges as incoming photons on the first major surface, At least one PV cell is mounted to receive light energy from the intermediate surface of the optical slab and convert such light energy to electrical energy. The PV cell has a highest band gap E. A down-converting structure is located on the second major surface of the slab for converting to lower energy light received through the slab, with at least about 75 percent of the converted tight having an energy level above the band gap E. A two-way spectrally selective reflector, located proximate the first major surface, cooperates with the down-converting structure for preventing high angle Sight from undesirably exiting the optical slab via the first major surface.
