A LIGHTING FIXTURE WITH A RETRACTABLE SENSOR MODULE AND METHODS OF OPERATING THE SAME

摘要

According to a first embodiment of the present invention, a lighting fixture is provided with a housing space to receive a retractable sensor module. The housing space is provided with an internal holder with electrical circuitry to operate the lighting fixture. The internal holder allows for pan rotation of a retractable sensor module. The retractable sensor module includes a control module comprising a top cover and a lower cover. The lighting fixture is independently operable, after the sensor module has been detached and a dummy cover is employed to close off the housing space of the internal holder. In a second embodiment, the lighting fixture with a sensor module can be further fitted with a plug-in transmitter module which receives and re-directs a signal from the sensor module to activate a receiver product, including a chime or a lighting fixture, in a separate part of a building or an operation control room.
