Beam reducer and control system for a luminaire

A luminaire control system, comprising:

• an actuator configured to move a beam reducer between a first position and a second position, wherein in the first position, the beam reducer is outside an emitted light beam, and in the second position, the beam reducer receives an emitted light beam and occludes an outer portion of the emitted light beam to emit a reduced light beam having a smaller beam angle than the emitted light beam;
• an imaging subsystem configured to receive (i) the emitted light beam when the beam reducer is in the first position and (ii) the reduced light beam when the beam reducer is in the second position;
• and
• a control system electrically coupled to the actuator and the imaging subsystem and configured to:
• adjust a component of the imaging subsystem;
• and
• cause the actuator to move the beam reducer between the first position and the second position.

A method of controlling a luminaire, comprising:

• receiving, by a control system of the luminaire, an indication of a position of a component of an imaging subsystem;
• and
• causing, by the control system, a beam reducer of the luminaire to move between a first position and a second position based on the position of the component,
• wherein in the first position, the beam reducer is outside a light beam emitted from a light source of the luminaire, and
• wherein in the second position, the beam reducer receives the emitted light beam and occludes an outer portion of the emitted light beam to emit a reduced light beam having a smaller beam angle than the emitted light beam.
