20140265914 | LIGHT FIXTURE COLOR ROAMING TECHNIQUES - A method for operating a light fixture in a lighting system includes receiving an instruction. If the instruction includes a broad spectrum signal, the roaming range may be set to a broad spectrum. If the instruction includes a first range signal, roaming range may be set to a first range of the broad spectrum. If the instruction includes a second range signal, roaming range may be set to a second range of the broad spectrum. A light having a spectral peak may be generated, and a wavelength of the spectral peak may be varied within the roaming range. | 09-18-2014 |
20140167616 | AUTOMATIC MODE ADJUSTMENT TECHNIQUES FOR A LIGHT FIXTURE IN A LIGHTING SYSTEM - According to techniques of the application, a method for operating a light fixture in a lighting system may include operating the light fixture in a first mode if a voltage is being supplied to the light fixture. The method may further include, while operating the light fixture in the first mode, detecting whether there has been an interruption in the voltage supplied to the light fixture. The method may further include, if there has been an interruption in the voltage supplied to the light fixture, operating the light fixture in a second mode. The first mode may include an independent timer mode and the second mode may include a synchronized timer mode. | 06-19-2014 |
20140113483 | DUAL CONDUCTOR CABLE CONNECTOR - A connector assembly for use with dual conductor cable is disclosed. The connector assembly includes a first connector, a second connector, first and second fixture wires, and first and second connector terminals. The first and second connectors are removably attachable. The first connector includes a first connector base, two prongs extending from the first connector base, and a first connector slot for accepting the first connector terminal. The second connector includes a second connector base, two wings extending from the second connector base, and a second connector slot for accepting the second connector terminal. The wings are sized and configured to accept the two prongs when the first and second connectors are joined. The first and second connector terminals include a spike extending generally away from the base of the connector into which the terminal has been secured. The first connector terminal is secured in the first connector in electrical communication with the first fixture wire, and the second connector terminal is secured in the second connector in electrical communication with second fixture wire. The first and second connectors, when joined by the insertion of the prongs between the wings, define a central portion sized to allow the passage of the dual conductor cable to which the first and second connectors are connected. When the first and second connectors are joined with the dual connector cable located in the central portion, the spikes of the first and second terminals penetrate into the dual conductor cable, whereby the dual conductor cable is placed into electrical communication with the first and second fixture wire. | 04-24-2014 |
20130285554 | FLICKERING ILLUMINATION CONTROL TECHNIQUES - According to certain inventive techniques, a method for operating a flickering illumination control device including an electrical input and an electrical output includes receiving an input voltage at the electrical input. A non-flickering output voltage may be provided at the electrical output. While receiving the input voltage and while providing the non-flickering output voltage, a first interruption in current flowing through the electrical output may be detected. In response to the first interruption, a flickering output voltage is provided at the electrical output. | 10-31-2013 |
