Abstract
An LED lamp is provided that is capable of being wirelessly and remotely controlled by an LED lighting control device. The LED lamp includes an antenna on the lens of the LED lamp and is embedded in a raised section of lens material. Locating the antenna in the raised section of lens material allows the LED lamp to be controlled by a stronger control signal from the LED lighting control device at greater distances (e.g., typically greater than ten feet) and does not detract from the aesthetic appeal of the LED lamp.
Claims20
A light emitting diode (LED) lamp comprising:
- a lamp housing including a body portion and a lens;
- at least one LED emitter secured within the lamp housing;
- electrical circuitry secured within the lamp housing and electrically coupled to the at least one LED emitter;
- and
- an antenna that is electrically coupled to the electrical circuitry, wherein at least a portion of the antenna is positioned adjacent the lens.
A light emitting diode (LED) lamp comprising:
- a housing comprising a lens;
- an LED disposed inside of the housing;
- electrical circuitry electrically coupled to the LED;
- and
- an antenna that is electrically coupled to the electrical circuitry, wherein at least a portion of the antenna is embedded in the lens.
An LED lighting system comprising:
- a plurality of LED lamps, the LED lamps comprising a housing having a lens, an LED emitter, electrical circuitry, and an antenna coupled to the circuitry and positioned adjacent the lens;
- and
- a wireless controller comprising a controller housing, controller circuitry including a Bluetooth wireless transmitter, and a user interface, and wherein the controller circuitry is operative for sending Bluetooth signals from the wireless controller to the antennas in the LED lamps to effect remote, wireless control of the LED lamps from the wireless controller.
