Programmable light emitting diode luminaire
View Patent ↗LED luminaires including an LED engine as the vehicle for programming the LED driver. An example luminaire includes an LED engine including a non-transitory memory having driver parameters and an LED driver coupled to the LED engine. The LED driver is configured to receive the driver parameters from the non-transitory memory and to provide a power based on the driver parameters. The luminaire further includes a plurality of LEDs to be driven by the power from the LED driver.
1. A luminaire comprising:
an LED engine including a non-transitory memory having driver parameters;
an LED driver coupled to the LED engine via a first power rail and a second power rail, the LED driver configured to receive the driver parameters from the non-transitory memory over the first power rail and the second power rail and to provide a power based on the driver parameters; and
a plurality of LEDs configured to be driven by the power from the LED driver
wherein the LED engine further includes wireless communication circuitry coupled to the non-transitory memory.
2. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the LED engine includes the plurality of LEDs.
3. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the non-transitory memory receives the driver parameters via the wireless communication circuitry.
4. The luminaire of claim 1 , and further comprising a first communication connector and a second communication connector coupling the LED driver to the non-transitory memory.
5. The luminaire of claim 1 , and further comprising a communication rail coupling the LED driver to the non-transitory memory, and the non-transitory memory is further coupled to the second power rail.
6. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the LED engine further includes circuitry for communicating the driver parameters over the first power rail and the second power rail.
7. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the LED engine further includes a communication port and wherein the non-transitory memory receives the driver parameters via the wireless communication circuitry.
8. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the power includes a constant current based on the driver parameters.
9. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the power includes a constant voltage based on the driver parameters.
10. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the driver parameters include a dimming control parameter.
11. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the driver parameters include a lumen maintenance setting.
