Abstract
An enhanced lighting control system is provided that utilizes updated communications technology to provide a cost and resource efficient lighting control system that allows for a retrofit installation into existing lighting systems. The lighting control system utilizes single pair ethernet connection protocols, as well as a pulsed power source, to enable the efficiencies.
Claims19
A power receiver device, comprising:
- a power receiving interface configured to receive power from a power source, the received power being in a first power format that is a high voltage DC pulse power having a DC voltage greater than 300 V;
- a power conversion circuitry configured to convert the received power from the first power format to a second power format, wherein the second power format is low voltage DC power of 100 V or less;
- a converted power transmitting interface configured to transmit the converted power in the second power format to a load device configured to be powered by the converted power in the second power format;
- and
- a power transmitting interface configured to transmit at least a portion of the received power to an external power receiver in the first power format.

A conversion device configured for a retrofit installation into an existing lighting infrastructure, the conversion device comprising:
- a power receiving interface configured to receive power in a first power format from a power source, wherein the first power format is a high voltage DC pulse power having a DC voltage greater than 300 V;
- a power conversion circuitry configured to convert the received power from the first power format to a second power format, wherein the second power format is low voltage DC power of 100 V or less;
- a communication interface configured to communicate with a gateway device to receive a lighting control command from the gateway device;
- and
- a lighting control interface configured to supply the converted power in the second power format to a lighting device to control a lighting feature of the lighting device according to the lighting control command.
2 more elements
A power receiver device, comprising:
- a non-transitory machine-readable medium configured to store instructions;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the instructions stored on the non-transitory machine-readable medium to:
- control a power receiving interface to receive power from a power source, the received power being in a first power format that is a high voltage DC pulse power having a DC voltage greater than 300 V;
- control a power conversion circuitry to convert the received power from the first power format to a second power format, wherein the second power format is low voltage DC power of 100 V or less;
- control a converted power transmitting interface to transmit the converted power in the second power format to a load device configured to be powered by the converted power in the second power format;
- and
- control a power transmitting interface to transmit at least a portion of the received power to an external power receiver in the first power format.
