Solid state lighting system

摘要

A solid state lighting system includes an electronic driver having a power input configured to receive power from a power source and the electronic driver having a power output. The electronic driver controls the power supply to the power output according to a control protocol, and the electronic driver has at least one expansion port having a separable interface. The system also includes a light emitting diode (LED) subassembly having an LED board having at least one LED that receives power from the power output of the electronic driver to power the LED. The system further includes a first expansion module configured to be coupled to the at least one expansion port of the electronic driver having a first functionality affecting the control protocol, and a second expansion module configured to be coupled to the at least one expansion port of the electronic driver having a second functionality affecting the control protocol. The first and second expansion modules are selectively coupled to the at least one expansion port to change the control protocol.

1. A solid state lighting system comprising:
an electronic driver having a housing holding a driver printed circuit board (PCB), the driver PCB defining a driver power circuit thereon, the electronic driver having a power input configured to receive power from a power source and being supplied to the driver power circuit, the electronic driver having a power output connected to the driver power circuit downstream of the power input, the electronic driver controlling the power supply to the power output according to a control protocol, the electronic driver having at least one expansion port defined by the housing and having a separable interface to the driver PCB being electrically connected to the driver power circuit downstream of the power input; a light emitting diode (LED) subassembly comprising an LED board having at least one LED, the LED subassembly receiving power from the power output of the electronic driver to power the LED; a first expansion module configured to be coupled to the at least one expansion port of the electronic driver, the first expansion module being configured to be electrically connected to the driver power circuit downstream of the power input, the first expansion module having a first functionality affecting the control protocol; and a second expansion module configured to be coupled to the at least one expansion port of the electronic driver, the second expansion module being configured to be electrically connected to the driver power circuit downstream of the power input, the second expansion module having a second functionality affecting the control protocol; wherein the first and second expansion modules are selectively coupled to the at least one expansion port to change the control protocol; and wherein the first and second expansion modules have the same form factor and are swappable such that either the first expansion module or the second expansion module are configured to be coupled to any of the at least one expansion port to change the control protocol.
