Abstract

Multisource LED systems for providing high intensity narrow spectrum light are provided. In one example embodiment, a lighting system includes one or more first light sources configured to emit high intensity narrow spectrum (HINS) light. The lighting system can include one or more second light sources configured to emit non-HINS light. The system can include a power circuit configured to provide power to the one or more first light sources and the one or more second light sources.

Claims (40)

1. A lighting system, comprising:

a first circuit board;

a plurality of first light sources arranged on the first circuit board, the plurality of first light sources configured to emit light having a wavelength in a range of about 380 nanometers (nm) to about 420 nm through a first optic configured to provide a first distribution of light;

a second circuit board;

a plurality of second light sources arranged on the second circuit board, the plurality of second light sources configured to emit light having a wavelength outside the range of about 380 nm to about 420 nm through a second optic that is different from the first optic and configured to provide a second distribution of light that is different than the first distribution of light; and

a power circuit configured to control power to the plurality of first light sources and to the plurality of second light sources.

2. The lighting system of claim 1 , wherein:

the plurality of first light sources comprise a plurality of first LED devices; and

the plurality of second light sources comprise a plurality of second LED devices.

3. The lighting system of claim 2 , wherein the wavelength of the light emitted by the plurality of first LED devices is in a range of about 400 nm to about 420 nm.

4. The lighting system of claim 2 , wherein the wavelength of the light emitted by the plurality of first LED devices is about 405 nm.

5. The lighting system of claim 2 , wherein the lighting system further comprises:

a control circuit configured to control the distribution of power among the plurality of first LED devices and the plurality of second LED devices so as to control a combined light output of the plurality of first LED devices and the plurality of second LED devices.

6. The lighting system of claim 1 , wherein the lighting system comprises one or more UV light sources.

7. The lighting system of claim 2 , wherein the power circuit comprises:

a first driver circuit configured to control power delivery to the plurality of first LED devices; and

a second driver circuit configured to control power delivery to the plurality of second LED devices.

8. The lighting system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a circuit configured to convert an input power to an output power for the plurality of first light sources and the plurality of second light sources.

9. The lighting system of claim 8 , wherein the circuit is configured to adjust a power distribution amongst the plurality of first light sources and the plurality of second light sources such that 100 percent of the output power is provided to the plurality of first light sources and 0 percent of the output power is provided to the plurality of second light sources.

10. The lighting system of claim 8 , wherein the circuit is configured to adjust a power distribution amongst the plurality of first light sources and the plurality of second light sources such that 100 percent of the output power is provided to the plurality of second light sources and 0 percent of the output power is provided to the plurality of first light sources.

11. The lighting system of claim 8 , wherein the circuit is configured to adjust a power distribution amongst the plurality of first light sources and the plurality of second light sources such that the output power is split between the plurality of first light sources and the plurality of second light sources.

12. The lighting system of claim 8 , wherein:

the plurality of first light sources comprise a plurality of first LED devices; and

the plurality of second light sources comprise a plurality of second LED devices.

13. A lighting fixture, comprising:

a first circuit board;

a plurality of first light sources arranged on the first circuit board, the plurality of first light sources configured to emit light having a wavelength in a range of about 380 nanometers (nm) to about 420 nm through a first optic configured to provide a first distribution of light;

a second circuit board;

a plurality of second light sources arranged on the second circuit board, the plurality of second light sources configured to emit light having a wavelength outside the range of about 380 nm to about 420 nm through a second optic that is different from the first optic and configured to provide a second distribution of light that is different than the first distribution of light; and

a power circuit configured to control power to the plurality of first light sources and to the plurality of second light sources.

14. The lighting fixture of claim 13 , further comprising:

a driver circuit configured to receive an input power and convert the input power to a driver output for powering the plurality of first light sources and the plurality of second light sources.

15. The lighting fixture of claim 14 , further comprising:

a current splitter circuit configured to split the driver output into a first current for powering the plurality of first light sources and a second current for powering the plurality of second light sources.

16. The lighting fixture of claim 13 , wherein the wavelength of the light emitted by the plurality of first light sources is in a range of about 400 nm to about 420 nm.

17. The lighting fixture of claim 16 , wherein the wavelength of the light emitted by the plurality of first light sources is about 405 nm.

18. The lighting fixture of claim 13 , wherein:

the plurality of first light sources comprise a plurality of first LED devices; and

the plurality of second light sources comprise a plurality of second LED devices.
