## Abstract

A luminaire can include an antenna and a first communication mode that is configured to communicate with an external system. The luminaire can also include a second communication mode that is configured to communicate with the external system. The luminaire can further include a switch coupled to the antenna, the first communication mode, and the second communication mode, where switch has a first position and a second position, where the switch, when in the first position, couples the first communication mode with the antenna, and where the switch, when in the second position, couples the second communication mode with the antenna.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A luminaire comprising:
a first communication mode that is configured to communicate with an external system;
a second communication mode that is configured to communicate with the external system; and
a switch coupled to the first communication mode and the second communication mode, wherein the switch has a first position and a second position, wherein the switch, when in the first position, enables the first communication mode, and wherein the switch, when in the second position, enables the second communication mode.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The luminaire of claim 1, wherein the switch is a single component.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The luminaire of claim 2, wherein the switch is a dual inline switch.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The luminaire of claim 1, wherein the switch is disposed within a housing of the luminaire.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The luminaire of claim 1, wherein the switch is disposed on a housing of the luminaire.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The luminaire of claim 5, wherein the switch is removably coupled to the housing.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The luminaire of claim 1, wherein the first communication mode uses Zigbee.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The luminaire of claim 1, wherein the second communication mode uses Bluetooth.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The luminaire of claim 1, further comprising:
an antenna coupled to the first communication mode and the second communication mode, wherein the antenna is used to transmit wireless signals with the external system.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The luminaire of claim 1, wherein the switch is coupled to an electrical connector during installation of the luminaire.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The luminaire of claim 1, wherein the switch is inaccessible when the luminaire is installed.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The luminaire of claim 1, wherein the switch comprises an actuator, wherein the actuator of the switch is disposed outside a cavity formed by a housing, and wherein a remainder of the switch is disposed within the cavity formed by the housing.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The luminaire of claim 1, wherein the switch is software-based.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The luminaire of claim 13, wherein the switch is part of a controller of the luminaire.

### Claim 15 (depends on 1)

The luminaire of claim 1, further comprising:

a lens removably coupled to the housing,
wherein the switch is inaccessible when the lens is coupled to the housing, and
wherein the switch is accessible when the lens is decoupled from the housing.

### Claim 16 (depends on 1)

The luminaire of claim 1, wherein the switch is disposed remotely from a housing of the luminaire.

### Claim 17 (depends on 16)

The luminaire of claim 16, wherein the switch is disposed on a junction box comprising a power supply of the luminaire.

### Claim 18

A switch for controlling a communication protocol of a luminaire, the switch comprising:
a first position; and
a second position,
wherein the first position corresponds to a first communication mode that uses a first communication protocol for communicating with a first component external to the luminaire, and wherein the second position corresponds to a second communication mode that uses a second communication protocol for communicating with a second component external to the luminaire.

### Claim 19 (depends on 18)

The switch of claim 18, further comprising:
an actuator that moves between the first position and the second position.

### Claim 20

A luminaire comprising:
a plurality of light sources that emit a plurality of lumen outputs; and
a switch coupled to the plurality of light sources,
wherein the switch has a first position and a second position, wherein the switch, when in the first position, controls the plurality of light sources to emit a first lumen output of the plurality of lumen outputs, and wherein the switch, when in the second position, controls the plurality of light sources to emit a second lumen output of the plurality of lumen outputs.
