Abstract

A lighting appliance includes a housing, a lighting element disposed in the housing is capable of displaying multiple color temperatures, a control unit disposed in the housing, an electrical communication system in communication with the lighting element and the control unit, and a sensor disposed on a portion of the housing, where the sensor is in communication with the lighting element and the control unit via the electrical communication system, and when a motion signal is detected by the sensor, the control unit is configured to instruct the lighting element to illuminate in a predetermined light mode for a predetermined time.

Claims (33)

1. A lighting appliance, comprising:

a housing;

a lighting element disposed in the housing, wherein lighting element is capable of displaying multiple color temperatures;

a control unit disposed in the housing;

an electrical communication system in communication with the lighting element and the control unit; and

a sensor disposed on a portion of the housing, the sensor being in communication with the lighting element and the control unit via the electrical communication system, wherein when a motion signal is detected by the sensor, the control unit is configured to instruct the lighting element to illuminate in a predetermined light mode for a predetermined time;

wherein the intensity of the light emitted by the lighting element is adjustable for each of the multiple color temperatures.

2. The lighting appliance of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined light mode comprises energizing, dimming, or flashing of the lighting elements.

3. The lighting appliance of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined time is ten minutes.

4. The lighting appliance of claim 1 , wherein the sensor is a motion sensor.

5. The lighting appliance of claim 4 , wherein the motion sensor is configured to detect a motion signal in at least two different detection modes.

6. The lighting appliance of claim 5 , wherein the motion sensor is configured to detect a motion signal in a surface detection mode that detects movement below the lighting appliance.

7. The lighting appliance of claim 5 , wherein the motion sensor is configured to detect a motion signal in a walk-by detection mode that detects movement in front of the lighting appliance.

8. The lighting appliance of claim 1 , wherein the lighting element comprises a first group of LEDs and a second group of LEDs, wherein the first group of LEDs emits a different color temperature of light than the second group of LEDs.

9. The lighting appliance of claim 8 , wherein the color temperature of light emitted is varied by selectively activating the first group of LEDs or the second group of LED.

10. The lighting appliance of claim 1 , wherein the color temperatures displayed by the lighting element range from 3000K to 5000K.

11. The lighting appliance of claim 1 , wherein the housing includes a back portion opposite the lighting element, the lighting appliance further comprising a plurality of elongated ribs protruding from the back portion of the housing.

12. The lighting appliance of claim 1 , wherein the intensity of light emitted includes a lower intensity of light and a high intensity of light.

13. The lighting appliance of claim 1 , further comprising a user selectable control to adjust the color temperature of light emitted by the lighting element.

14. The lighting appliance of claim 1 , wherein the lighting element is operated in a manual mode independent of the sensor.

15. The lighting appliance of claim 1 , wherein the lighting appliance is configured to fixable to the underside of a horizontal surface.

16. The lighting appliance of claim 1 , further comprising an arm connected to the housing, wherein the arm includes a plurality of pivot points.

17. The lighting appliance of claim 16 , wherein at least one of the plurality of pivot points include interlocking teeth to fix the pivot point in an orientation.

18. The lighting appliance of claim 16 , further comprising a base that is in mechanical communication with the arm, wherein the base includes a top surface and an undersurface opposite the top surface.

19. A lighting appliance, comprising:

a housing;

a lighting element disposed in the housing, wherein lighting element is capable of displaying multiple color temperatures;

a control unit disposed in the housing;

an electrical communication system in communication with the lighting element and the control unit;

a sensor disposed on a portion of the housing, the sensor being in communication with the lighting element and the control unit via the electrical communication system, wherein when a motion signal is detected by the sensor, the control unit is configured to instruct the lighting element to illuminate in a predetermined light mode for a predetermined time;

an arm connected to the housing, wherein the arm includes a plurality of pivot points;

a base that is in mechanical communication with the arm, wherein the base includes a top surface and an undersurface opposite the top surface; and

a plurality of support pillars fixed to the undersurface of the base, wherein each of the plurality of support pillars include an opening to accept a fastening device to attach the lighting appliance to a fixed surface.
