Ceiling mount light with 360-degree motion sensor
View Patent ↗A ceiling mount light with a single spherical lens with a 360-degree range viewing field to focus infrared energy into a motion sensor is provided. The ceiling mount light has a sensitivity regulating switch to adjust the level of sensitivity up to about 30 feet in the 360-degree viewing field.
1. A motion detector for lighting mounted to a ceiling, comprising:
a lamp shade assembly having an opening;
a dome-shaped lens protruding through said opening;
a motion detector assembly comprising a passive infrared sensor disposed within said lamp shade assembly and detecting motion in a 360-degree range of viewing field based on heat fluctuations received via said dome-shaped lens;
a base plate; and
a sensitivity regulating switch.
2. The motion detector for lighting mounted to a ceiling of claim 1 , wherein said opening is located at a midpoint of said lamp shade assembly and is circumscribed by a decorative ring.
3. The motion detector for lighting mounted to a ceiling of claim 2 , wherein said lamp shade assembly comprises a support frame and a frame base framing and supporting a bottom panel and a plurality of side panels, said frame base of said lamp shade assembly removably mounted to said base plate.
4. The motion detector for lighting mounted to a ceiling of claim 3 , wherein said bottom panel is partitioned into a plurality of individual panels.
5. The motion detector lighting mounted to a ceiling of claim 1 , wherein a motion detector case envelops a printed circuit board assembly, said sensitivity regulating switch, a time regulating switch, and switch covers.
6. The motion detector for lighting mounted to a ceiling of claim 1 , wherein a heat sink encircles said spherical lens.
7. The motion detector for lighting mounted to a ceiling of claim 1 , wherein a partition is positioned between a printed circuit board assembly and said spherical lens.
8. A motion detector for lighting mounted to a ceiling, comprising:
a lamp shade assembly, said motion detector having a spherical lens protruding through an opening in said lamp shade assembly;
a motion detector assembly;
a base plate;
a sensitivity regulating switch;
said motion detector detecting motion in a 360-degree range of viewing field; and
wherein a rubber plug and an extension cylinder are positioned between a printed circuit board assembly and a heat shield, said extension cylinder being removably mounted on said base plate.
9. A ceiling mount light for sensing motion, comprising:
a) a motion detector having a dome-shaped lens and a motion sensor with a 360-degree range viewing field positioned within said dome-shaped lens, said motion sensor having a passive infrared sensor to detect motion based on heat fluctuations received via said dome-shaped lens; and
b) a lamp shade having a hollow recess;
wherein, c) said lamp shade is mounted to a base plate, and said motion detector is mounted to said base plate and positioned within said lamp shade such that said dome-shaped lens of said motion detector protrude through an aperture in said lamp shade.
10. A ceiling mount light for sensing motion, comprising:
a) a motion detector assembly having a dome-shaped lens and a motion sensor with a 360-degree range viewing field positioned within said dome-shaped lens, said motion sensor having a passive infrared sensor to detect motion based on heat fluctuations received via said dome-shaped lens; and
b) a lamp shade assembly having an aperture;
wherein, c) said lamp shade assembly mounted to a base plate, and said motion detector assembly is mounted to said base plate and positioned within said lamp shade assembly such that said dome-shaped lens of said motion detector assembly protrude through said aperture.
11. A motion sensing ceiling light, comprising:
a motion detector within a lamp housing, said motion detector having a dome-shaped lens and a motion sensor, wherein said motion sensor has a downwardly directed 360-degree range viewing field, said motion sensor having a passive infrared sensor to detect motion based on heat fluctuations received via said dome-shaped lens;
said motion detector mounted to said ceiling light and positioned within said lamp housing, said ceiling light having the dome-shaped lens adjacent to said motion sensor.
