Abstract
A ceiling mount light with a single spherical lens with a 360-degree range viewing field to focus infrared energy into a motion sensor is provided. The ceiling mount light has a sensitivity regulating switch to adjust the level of sensitivity up to about 30 feet in the 360-degree viewing field.
Claims11
A motion detector for lighting mounted to a ceiling, comprising:
- a lamp shade assembly having an opening;
- a dome-shaped lens protruding through said opening;
- a motion detector assembly comprising a passive infrared sensor disposed within said lamp shade assembly and detecting motion in a 360-degree range of viewing field based on heat fluctuations received via said dome-shaped lens;
- a base plate;
- and
- a sensitivity regulating switch.
3 more elements
A motion detector for lighting mounted to a ceiling, comprising:
- a lamp shade assembly, said motion detector having a spherical lens protruding through an opening in said lamp shade assembly;
- a motion detector assembly;
- a base plate;
- a sensitivity regulating switch;
- said motion detector detecting motion in a 360-degree range of viewing field;
- and
- wherein a rubber plug and an extension cylinder are positioned between a printed circuit board assembly and a heat shield, said extension cylinder being removably mounted on said base plate.
4 more elements
A ceiling mount light for sensing motion, comprising:
- a) a motion detector having a dome-shaped lens and a motion sensor with a 360-degree range viewing field positioned within said dome-shaped lens, said motion sensor having a passive infrared sensor to detect motion based on heat fluctuations received via said dome-shaped lens;
- and
- b) a lamp shade having a hollow recess;
- wherein, c) said lamp shade is mounted to a base plate, and said motion detector is mounted to said base plate and positioned within said lamp shade such that said dome-shaped lens of said motion detector protrude through an aperture in said lamp shade.

A ceiling mount light for sensing motion, comprising:
- a) a motion detector assembly having a dome-shaped lens and a motion sensor with a 360-degree range viewing field positioned within said dome-shaped lens, said motion sensor having a passive infrared sensor to detect motion based on heat fluctuations received via said dome-shaped lens;
- and
- b) a lamp shade assembly having an aperture;
- wherein, c) said lamp shade assembly mounted to a base plate, and said motion detector assembly is mounted to said base plate and positioned within said lamp shade assembly such that said dome-shaped lens of said motion detector assembly protrude through said aperture.
1 more element
A motion sensing ceiling light, comprising:
- a motion detector within a lamp housing, said motion detector having a dome-shaped lens and a motion sensor, wherein said motion sensor has a downwardly directed 360-degree range viewing field, said motion sensor having a passive infrared sensor to detect motion based on heat fluctuations received via said dome-shaped lens;
- said motion detector mounted to said ceiling light and positioned within said lamp housing, said ceiling light having the dome-shaped lens adjacent to said motion sensor.
