Coordinated autonomous network of grid powered lighting devices

摘要

A power management system for a lighting circuit may include a grid shifting controller that includes a processor and a connection to an external power source. The power management system may also include a communication interface associated with the grid shifting controller. The grid shifting controller may be configured to provide control information to a processor of at least one grid shifting electrical fixture over the communication interface, the control information being configured to direct the at least one grid shifting electrical fixture on the use of power from the external power source and an energy storage device associated with the at least one grid shifting electrical fixture.

主权项

1. A coordinated lighting system comprising:
a first lighting module, including an external AC power source, a first light source, a wireless transceiver, a processor, and a housing, wherein the external AC power source has access to an electrical grid connection; and a second lighting module separate from the first lighting module, the second lighting module including:
a second light source;a sensor configured to detect a predetermined condition;a processor device in communication with the sensor and configured to generate a control signal in response to detection of the predetermined condition; anda transmitter configured to transmit the control signal to the first lighting module; wherein the processor device of the second lighting module is configured to cause a change in illumination of the second light source of the second lighting module in response to the detection of the predetermined condition, the wireless transceiver of the first lighting module is configured to receive the control signal, and the processor of the first lighting module is configured to control illumination of the first light source of the first lighting module based on the control signal received from the second lighting module.
