Claims20
A lighting fixture, comprising:
- a light source;
- and
- an environmental detection system coupled to a continuous supply of electrical power, the environmental detection system comprising one or more sensors operable to detect an environmental parameter associated with a space in which the lighting fixture is located.
A method for using an environmental detection system of a lighting fixture to detect an environmental condition associated with a room or area in which the lighting fixture is located, the method comprising:
- receiving, at one or more control devices, data from a sensor of the environmental detection system, the sensor coupled to a continuous supply of electrical power, the data indicative of an environmental parameter associated with the room or area;
- determining, by the one or more control devices, whether the environmental parameter is within a predefined range of values associated with the environmental parameter;
- and
- responsive to determining the environmental parameter is not within the predefined range of values, providing a notification indicative of the environmental condition occurring within the room or area.
A system for detecting an environmental condition associated with a room or area, the system comprising:
- a lighting fixture disposed within the room or area, the lighting fixture comprising a light source;
- and
- an environmental detection system disposed within the room or area, the environmental detection system coupled to a continuous supply of electrical power, the environmental detection system comprising one or more sensors operable to detect an environmental parameter associated with the room or area.
