Abstract
Systems and methods are directed toward a light head including two or more different optical axes. A first optical axis may correspond to a near field lighting area and the second optical axis may correspond to a far field lighting area. The light head may be positioned within a retainer to couple the light head to an enclosure. The retainer may include one or more gripping components to secure movement of the light head in at least three directions and also provide opposing spring forces to block rotational movement of the light head.
Claims20
A light assembly, comprising:
- one or more light heads;
- one or more retainers configured to couple to the one or more light heads;
- and
- an enclosure configured to receive the one or more retainers to secure the one or more light heads in a desired orientation.
A light head, comprising:
- a printed circuit board arranged at a first angle;
- a first light section, comprising:
- a first light source;
- a first reflector;
- and
- a second reflector;
- wherein the first light source includes a first optical axis that is substantially normal to the printed circuit board;
- and
- a second light section, comprising:
- a second light source;
- a third reflector;
- a fourth reflector;
- a collimator;
- and
- two or more diamond optical reflectors;
- wherein the second light source includes a second optical axis that is at a second angle, the second angle being oblique to the first angle of the printed circuit board, and the second angle being substantially parallel to a ground plane.
A method, comprising:
- determining a first power level for a first light source;
- causing the first light source to operate at the first power level;
- determining a second power level for a second light source;
- determining a total power level based on the first power level and the second power level;
- determining the total power level exceeds a threshold power level;
- determining a modified first power level;
- causing the first light source to operate at the modified first power level;
- and
- causing the second light source to operate at the second power level.
A retainer for holding a light head, attachable to an enclosure, comprising:
- a frame comprising one or more apertures;
- one or more front top members configured to apply force to an upper interior part of an enclosure;
- one or more front bottom members configured to apply force to a bottom interior part of the enclosure;
- one or more rear members connectable to one or more catches in the extrusion;
- and
- one or more safety members comprising one or more pads, the one or more safety members ensuring the attachment of the retainer to the enclosure.
