Abstract
A luminaire with various sensing and communication capabilities is provided. According to one aspect, the luminaire can include a housing, a light source disposed in the housing, a support element coupled to and extending downward from the housing, one or more communication modules disposed within the support element, and a motion sensor coupled to the support element. The one or more communication modules facilitate communication with a local controller disposed in the luminaire, a control system, and/or other luminaires. The motion sensor is configured to detect motion within a pre-determined range of the luminaire. The light source is configured to emit light responsive to the motion sensor detecting motion within the pre-determined range.
Claims27
A luminaire, comprising:
- a housing;
- a light source disposed in the housing;
- a lens coupled to the housing and covering the light source;
- and
- one or more communication modules configured to operate at various frequencies and disposed within a support element coupled to the housing, the support element disposed along a center axis of the luminaire and extending upward from an apex of the lens.
A luminaire, comprising:
- a housing;
- a light source disposed in the housing;
- a support element coupled to and extending downward from the housing;
- a lens coupled to the housing and covering the light source and the support element;
- one or more communication modules disposed within the support element;
- and
- a motion sensor coupled to the support element adjacent an apex of the lens, the motion sensor configured to detect motion within a pre-determined range of the luminaire, the light source configured to emit light responsive to the motion sensor detecting motion within the pre-determined range.
A luminaire, comprising:
- a housing;
- a light source disposed in the housing;
- a lens coupled to the housing and covering the light source;
- a motion sensor disposed adjacent to an apex of the lens;
- and
- one or more wireless modules disposed adjacent the motion sensor, the motion sensor configured to detect motion within a pre-determined distance from the luminaire, the light source configured to emit light responsive to the motion sensor detecting motion within the pre-determined distance.
