Abstract
A method for controlling the light distribution of a traffic route luminaire in a network of luminaires, which is preferably also organized as a mesh network. The luminaire has a luminaire head having a settable light module and a controller while the light distribution of the luminaire is variable. The luminaire communicates luminaire data to at least one server, the luminaire data being luminaire-specific and related to the installation location of the luminaire. The data for a light distribution are automatically allocated to the luminaire and a setting of the light module is automatically effected on the basis of the data.
Claims26
A method for controlling the light distribution of a luminaire including a luminaire head having a settable light module,
- the settable light module comprising a group of light-emitting diodes mounted on a circuit board, and lenses associated with said light-emitting diode elements;
- the light distribution of the luminaire being variable;
- the method comprising setting the light module on the basis of a light distribution, by at least one of the following actions:
- moving said group of light-emitting diodes;
- moving said lenses;
- varying the form of said lenses;
- varying the orientation of said lenses;
- varying the form of said circuit board;
- varying the orientation of said circuit board;
- and
- increasing lighting current of said group.
A luminaire comprising a luminaire head having a settable light module comprising a group of light-emitting diode elements mounted on a circuit board, and lenses associated with said light-emitting diode elements, light originating from the settable light module having a variable light distribution which is controlled by at least one of:
- moving said group of light-emitting diodes;
- moving said lenses;
- varying the form of said lenses;
- varying the orientation of said lenses;
- varying the form of said circuit board;
- varying the orientation of said circuit board;
- and
- increasing lighting current of said group.
A method for controlling the light distribution of a luminaire including a luminaire head having a settable light module,
- the settable light module comprising a group of light-emitting diodes, and reflectors associated with said light-emitting diode elements;
- the light distribution of the luminaire being variable;
- the method comprising setting the light module on the basis of a light distribution, by at least one of the following actions:
- varying the form of said reflectors;
- varying the orientation of said reflectors;
- moving said reflectors;
- moving said group of light-emitting diodes;
- and
- increasing lighting current.
