Abstract
A landscape lighting system includes a light fixture having an LED, a first light diverting element having a first light diversion angle associated therewith, and a second light diverting element having a second light diversion angle associated therewith that is different than the first light diversion angle, whereby the first and second light diverting elements are interchangeable and only one of the first and second light diverting elements are secured over the LED at any one time. The system includes a light intensity controller for communicating with the light fixture. The light intensity controller has a control element that is engaged for selectively increasing and decreasing the intensity of the light generated by the LED.
Claims20
A landscape lighting system comprising:
- a light fixture including an LED;
- a first light diverting element having a first light diversion angle associated therewith;
- a second light diverting element having a second light diversion angle associated therewith that is different than the first light diversion angle, wherein said first and second light diverting elements are interchangeable, and wherein only one of said first and second light diverting elements are secured over said LED at any one time;
- a light intensity controller for communicating with said light fixture to selectively control 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 at least one 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 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 including an LED and an LED driver electrically interconnected with said LED for controlling operation of said LED;
- providing a first light diverting element having a first light diversion angle associated therewith;
- providing a second light diverting element having a second light diversion angle associated therewith that is different than the first light diversion angle;
- providing a light intensity controller adapted to communicate with said light fixture, wherein said light intensity controller is in wireless or infrared communication with said light fixture;
- providing a light fixture control circuit for selectively increasing and decreasing the intensity of the light generated by said LED.
