Systems and apparatuses for configurable and controllable under cabinet lighting fixtures
A configurable controllable under cabinet lighting fixture and system for controlling the same are provided. An example configurable controllable under cabinet lighting fixture includes one or more lighting elements positioned from a proximal end of a lighting fixture housing to a distal end of a lighting fixture housing. The example configurable controllable under cabinet lighting fixture further includes circuitry configured to control one or more first parameters associated with the one or more lighting elements. The circuitry is further configured to control one or more second parameters associated with one or more nearby configurable controllable under cabinet lighting fixtures located within a proximity threshold of the configurable controllable under cabinet lighting fixture. The lighting fixture housing is configured for affixing to a downward facing surface of a mounting surface.
1. A lighting fixture, comprising a lighting fixture housing, the lighting fixture comprising:
one or more lighting elements positioned along the lighting fixture housing; and
circuitry configured to control one or more first parameters associated with the one or more lighting elements and one or more second parameters associated with one or more nearby lighting fixtures located within a proximity threshold of the lighting fixture,
wherein the lighting fixture comprises a first width and is configured for affixing to a mounting surface having a second width, and
wherein a lumens per mounting surface measurement unit for the lighting fixture is maintained based at least in part on the second width.
2. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , wherein the lumens per mounting surface measurement unit is determined without regard for the first width.
3. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , wherein the lighting fixture housing is configured for affixing to a downward facing surface of a mounting surface.
4. The lighting fixture of claim 3 , wherein illumination from the one or more lighting elements travels away from the downward facing surface of the mounting surface.
5. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , wherein the proximity threshold is fifty (50) feet.
6. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , wherein the first width is one or more of 20.5 inches, 14.5 inches, or 32.5 inches.
7. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , wherein the first width is less than the second width.
8. The lighting fixture of claim 3 , wherein the mounting surface is a cabinet.
9. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , wherein the lumens per mounting surface measurement unit is 62.5 lumens per inch.
10. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , wherein the lighting fixture is associated with a first lighting zone of a plurality of lighting zones.
11. The lighting fixture of claim 10 , wherein each nearby lighting fixture is associated with one or more lighting zones of the plurality of lighting zones.
12. The lighting fixture of claim 10 , wherein the circuitry is responsive to signals received from a remote computing device to define the plurality of lighting zones.
13. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is responsive to signals received from a remote computing device.
14. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is responsive to signals received from wall mounted switch circuitry.
15. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , wherein one or more of the one or more first parameters or one or more second parameters comprise one or more of direction, color, temperature, dim level, or voltage.
16. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , wherein the one or more lighting elements comprise edge lit lighting elements.
17. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , wherein the one or more lighting elements comprise back lit lighting elements.
18. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , wherein the one or more lighting elements comprise light emitting diodes.
19. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , wherein the one or more nearby configurable controllable under cabinet lighting fixtures comprise one or more of bar lighting elements, rope lighting elements, tape lighting elements, or puck lighting elements.
20. A method of controlling a lighting fixture, the method comprising:
controlling, using circuitry, one or more first parameters associated with one or more lighting elements positioned along a lighting fixture housing the lighting fixture, wherein the lighting fixture housing comprises a first width and is configured for affixing to a mounting surface having a second width;
controlling, using the circuitry, one or more second parameters associated with one or more nearby lighting fixtures located within a proximity threshold of the lighting fixture; and
maintaining a lumens per mounting surface measurement unit for the lighting fixture based at least in part on the second width.
