Abstract
The present disclosure relates to permanent outdoor lighting systems, specifically those utilizing app-controlled addressable LEDs. The invention covers the overall system architecture, including the communication method between the app, server, control box, and LED light sources, as well as the physical design of the LED mounting system, including a color-matched aluminum track.
Claims17
An outdoor lighting system, the system configured for controlling outdoor lights of a building, the system comprising:
- one or more light emitting diode (LED) light source;
- a mobile application on a mobile device for controlling colors and patterns on the LED light source;
- a control box connected to a WiFi network of the building and configured to send data to the LED light source via a 1-wire interface;
- a computer server in communication with the mobile application and transmitting commands to the control box;
- and
- an aluminum track mounted on the building to house the LED light source;
- wherein the aluminum track is configured to color-matched the building to which it is mounted;
- wherein the mobile application is configured to control different zones of addressable LEDS of the outdoor lights at the building.
A computer-implemented method of creating and scheduling custom lighting events for an outdoor lighting system of a building, the outdoor lighting system comprising one or more lighting sources, a mobile light controlling application on a mobile device, a control box and a computer server, the method comprising the steps of:
- signing onto the mobile light controlling application on the mobile device;
- creating a building profile;
- customizing different light colors and patterns to the building profile;
- creating one or more lighting events;
- scheduling the one or more lighting events at different times of the day and days of the year;
- saving the one or more lighting events on the mobile device;
- sending the one or more lighting event data to the computer server and the control box;
- and
- programming the control box to schedule the one or more lighting events.
A smart lighting controller for an outdoor lighting system having an output interface, the output interface of the smart lighting controller comprising:
- a PPTC resettable fuse for protecting the output line from overcurrent conditions;
- a voltage shunting mechanism for diverting instantaneous excessive voltage to ground during a short circuit event to higher voltage;
- a low output impedance driver circuit for maintaining signal integrity over long wiring distances;
- and
- an edge rate limiting filter to control signal rise and fall times, thereby reducing electromagnetic interference and ensuring compliance with FCC Class B emissions standards.
