TLDR
In this article, an integrated self-contained lighting module which can be used on its own, or in conjunction with other modules to produce white light, or light of any other colour within the colour spectrum.Abstract:
The present invention provides an integrated self-contained lighting module which can be used on its own, or in conjunction with other modules to produce white light, or light of any other colour within the colour spectrum. Each module comprises one or more light-emitting elements, a drive and control system, a feedback system, thermal management system, optical system, and optionally a communication system enabling communication between modules and/or other control systems. Depending on the configuration, the lighting module can operate autonomously or its functionality can be determined based on either or both internal signals and externally received signals.read more

Patent
Systems and methods for providing an oem level networked lighting system
TL;DR: In this paper, a user specified rule is executed to control lighting effects in a lighting network which comprises an interface module in communication with one or more lighting control modules, and the rule may comprise a user identified input and a user-specified lighting effect to occur responsive to the user-identified input.
Patent
Thermal management of led-based lighting systems
Peter Van Laanen,Jeff Bisberg +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method of dissipating heat generated by an LED-based lighting system by configuring a printed circuit board with conductors on a front-side of the PCB, such that when one or more LEDs mounted to the conductors generates heat, the heat dissipates from the LEDs to the structural element.
