Lighting device or lamp with configurable beam angle and/or profile

A lighting device having two or more operating modes comprising:

• (i.) a housing having light emitting diode (LED) packages mounted therein, at least a portion of the LED packages being distributed in a ring arrangement;
• (ii.) a secondary optic disc comprising a plurality of secondary optical elements, the plurality of secondary optical elements comprising at least two types of secondary optical elements, wherein a center point of the ring arrangement and a center point of the secondary optic disc define an optical axis of the lighting device,
• wherein:
• an operating mode of the two or more operating modes corresponds to each of the LED packages being aligned with a secondary optical element of a predetermined type,
• the secondary optic disc is positioned within the housing,
• the secondary optic disc is rotatable with respect to the housing and while remaining within the housing about the optical axis of the lighting device between at least two predefined positions, each predefined position corresponding to a respective one of the two or more operating modes, and
• each operating mode is defined by a beam profile or a beam angle, the plurality of secondary optical elements of the secondary optic disc are configured to define the beam profile or beam angle of each operating mode, the beam profile describing the intensity of light at points along a diameter of a beam of light emitted by the lighting device in a plane that is transverse to a direction of propagation of the beam of light,
• (iii.) a mechanical interface;
• and
• (iv.) a processing element configured to:
• detect a toggling of an interactive element of a remote switch, wherein the remote switch is configured to control a flow of electric power to the lighting device and the toggling of the interactive element is detected as a series of one or more pulses or interruptions in the electric power supplied to the lighting device;
• and
• responsive to the detection of the toggling of the interactive element of the remote switch, drive the mechanical interface from a current position of the mechanical interface to an adjacent position of the mechanical interface to cause rotation of the secondary optic disc from a first disc position of the at least two predefined positions and corresponding to a current operating mode of the two or more operating modes to an adjacent disc position of the at least two predefined positions and corresponding to an adjacent operating mode of the two or more operating modes.

A lighting device having three two or more operating modes, the lighting device comprising:

• a housing;
• a plurality of light engines positioned within the housing, at least a portion of the plurality of light engines being distributed in a ring arrangement;
• and
• a secondary optic disc comprising a plurality of secondary optical elements, the secondary optical elements comprising three or more types of secondary optical elements, wherein a center point of the ring arrangement and a center point of the secondary optic disc define an optical axis of the lighting device;
• wherein:
• an operating mode of the three or more operating modes corresponds to each of the plurality of light engines being aligned with a secondary optical element of a predetermined type,
• the secondary optic disc is positioned within the housing so that the secondary optic disc is moveable with respect to the housing and while remaining within the housing between at least three predefined positions, each predefined position corresponding to one of the three or more operating modes,
• movement of the secondary optic disc from a first position of the at least three predefined positions to a second position of the at least three predefined positions causes a switching of the operating mode of the lighting device from a first operating mode to a second operating mode,
• each operating mode is defined by a beam angle, the plurality of secondary optical elements of the secondary optic disc are configured to define the beam angle of each operating mode, and
• the plurality of secondary optical elements are organized into groups of secondary optical elements, each group corresponding to one of the plurality of light engines, each group comprising three or more differing types of secondary optical elements, the beam angle of each of the three or more differing types of the secondary optical elements being different than the beam angle of the other types.
