Abstract
A landscape lighting system includes a plurality of light fixtures, each light fixture having an LED, and a plurality of interchangeable light diverting elements adapted to be secured over the LED. Each light diverting element has a unique light diversion angle associated therewith, whereby only one of the light diverting elements is secured over the LED at any one time. The system includes a light intensity controller for communicating with each light fixture. The light intensity controller has a control element that enables an operator to selectively increase and decrease the intensity of the light generated by the LED.
Claims20
A landscape lighting system comprising:
- a plurality of light fixtures;
- each said light fixture comprising an LED, and a plurality of interchangeable light diverting elements adapted to be secured over said LED, wherein each of said light diverting elements has a unique light diversion angle associated therewith, and wherein only one of said light diverting elements is secured over said LED at any one time;
- a light intensity controller for communicating with each said light fixture, wherein said light intensity controller includes a control element that enables an operator to selectively increase and decrease the intensity of the light generated by said LED.
A landscape lighting system comprising:
- a light fixture including at least one LED and an LED driver electrically interconnected with said LED for controlling operation of said at least one LED;
- a plurality of interchangeable light diverting elements adapted to be secured over said at least one LED, wherein each said light diverting element has a unique light diversion angle associated therewith;
- a glare shield mounted on said light fixture, wherein said glare shield rotates and moves telescopically relative to said light fixture;
- a glare shield fastener for securing said glare shield to said light fixture;
- and
- a light intensity controller in communication with said LED driver, wherein said light intensity controller includes a control element that enables an operator to selectively increase and decrease the intensity of the light generated by said at least one LED.
A method of controlling the light generated by a light fixture comprising:
- providing a light fixture comprising an LED, an LED driver electrically interconnected with said LED for controlling operation of said LED, and a plurality of interchangeable light diverting elements, wherein each said light diverting element has a unique light diversion angle associated therewith;
- providing a light intensity controller adapted to communicate with said light fixture;
- providing a light fixture control circuit that enables an operator to selectively increase and decrease the intensity of the light generated by said LED;
- securing a first one of said light diverting element having a first light diversion angle to said light fixture so that said first light diverting element overlies said LED;
- using said light intensity controller for operating said light fixture control circuit for changing the intensity of the light generated by said LED.
