Ambient Flame Style Flicker Lighting System and Methods

Номер: US20180020524A1
Принадлежит: Heathco LLC

The described embodiments relate to systems, methods, and apparatuses for controlling a lighting unit to provide multiple different static and dynamic illumination patterns. The illumination patterns can be provided in response to changes in environmental conditions detected by sensors of the lighting unit. For instance, the lighting unit can provide a flame-like illumination pattern when the sensor is detecting a first threshold amount of motion, and a static illumination pattern when the sensor is detecting a second threshold amount of motion. The flame-like illumination pattern can be expressed using multiple light guides that extend from the lighting unit and receive different colors of light that imitate the motion of a flame. The light guides can be, for example, cylindrical or pipe-shaped, and etched with different patterns to absorb and reflect incident light.

A solar-powered decorative article includes a module having an upper surface and a lower structure configured for coupling to the mouth of a transparent or translucent vessel. A solar panel is supported on the upper surface of the module, and a battery, disposed within the module, is recharged by the solar panel. A plurality of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are suspended from the bottom surface of the module by tethers. A controller is operative to control each LED from OFF or low brightness to a higher brightness over time to produce decorative lighting patterns. The lower structure of the module may include a stopper configured for coupling to the mouth of a bottle, or threads configured for coupling to a jar having a threaded mouth. Each LED may be covered with a decorative, simulated firefly shell, with the controller being operative to control the LEDs to simulate lighting patterns generated by real fireflies. 1. A solar-powered firefly display , comprising:a cap-shaped housing having an upper surface, a lower surface, and lower threads configured for coupling to a jar;a solar panel supported on the upper surface of the cap-shaped housing;a battery disposed within the cap-shaped housing and recharged by the solar panel;a plurality of simulated firefly devices suspended from the bottom surface of the cap-shaped housing by tethers, each firefly device including a light-emitting diode (LED), and each tether including two wires interconnected to electronics in the cap-shaped housing; andwherein the electronics includes a controller operative to control each LED from OFF or low brightness to relatively high brightness over time to simulate lighting patterns generated by real fireflies.2. The display of claim 1 , including three or more simulated firefly devices suspended from the bottom surface of the cap-shaped housing.3. The display of claim 1 , including tethers of different lengths such that the simulated firefly devices are at different height levels within the ...
