Abstract
A lighting system including one or more light assemblies, each light assembly having a light-producing subassembly with one or more light sources for emitting light upon energization thereof, one or more sensors for sensing a preselected event, and a control subassembly, to control energization of the light source upon the sensor(s) sensing the preselected event. The light assembly also includes an internal communications subassembly, for effecting communications between the sensor and the control subassembly. The lighting system includes a command center, for providing commands to the control subassembly via the internal communications subassembly, and an external communications subassembly, for communicating the commands to the internal communications subassembly.
Claims3
A lighting system comprising:
- at least one light assembly comprising:
- a light-producing subassembly comprising at least one light source for emitting light therefrom upon energization thereof, the light-producing subassembly comprising at least one light lens through which the light emitted from said at least one light source is directed;
- a power supply;
- at least one sensor, for sensing a preselected event;
- a control subassembly, to control energization of said at least one light source, upon said at least one sensor sensing the preselected event;
- and
- an internal communications subassembly, for effecting communications between said at least one sensor and the control subassembly;
- a radar unit, for radar surveillance of a predetermined region of a road proximal to said at least one light assembly, the radar unit being configured to generate at least one first notification signal upon detecting an object in the predetermined region;
- a command center, for providing commands to the control subassembly via the internal communications subassembly;
- and
- an external communications subassembly, for transmittinq signals between the command center and the internal communications subassembly, wherein said at least one first notification signal is transmittable to the command center via the external communications subassembly, and wherein, upon receipt thereby of said at least one first notification signal, the command center generates at least one warning signal transmittable to a receiver in a vehicle on the road.
