Abstract

Various implementations include a light including a central body and two or more lighting portions. The central body has a longitudinal axis, a first portion, and a second portion opposite and spaced apart along the longitudinal axis from the first portion. The two or more lighting portions each include two or more red-green-blue (RGB) light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The two or more LEDs of each of the two or more lighting portions are linearly spaced apart from each other such that each of the two or more lighting portions extend from the first portion to the second portion. The two or more lighting portions are circumferentially spaced apart from each other about the longitudinal axis.

Claims (43)

1 . A light comprising:

a central body having a longitudinal axis, a first portion, and a second portion opposite and spaced apart along the longitudinal axis from the first portion; and

two or more lighting portions each including two or more red-green-blue (RGB) light-emitting diodes (LEDs), wherein the two or more LEDs of each of the two or more lighting portions are linearly spaced apart from each other such that each of the two or more lighting portions extend from the first portion to the second portion, wherein the two or more lighting portions are circumferentially spaced apart from each other about the longitudinal axis;

a long-range Bluetooth mesh module having:

a controller for controlling parameters of the two or more LEDs;

a Bluetooth receiver; and

a Bluetooth amplifier,

wherein the long-range Bluetooth mesh module is capable of sending a signal including information for the parameters of the light and one or more other lights, and

wherein the long-range Bluetooth mesh module is capable of receiving the signal from the one or more lights and adjusting the parameters of the light based on the information included in the signal.

2 . The light of claim 1 , further comprising an E26/27 medium connector or an E39/40 mogul connector.

3 . The light of claim 1 , wherein the two or more lighting portions are a total of 60 W.

4 . The light of claim 1 , wherein the two or more RGB LEDs comprise two or more red-green-blue-white (RGBW) LEDs.

5 . The light of claim 1 , wherein the two or more RGB LEDs comprise two or more red-green-blue-amber (RGBA) LEDs.

6 . The light of claim 1 , wherein the two or more lighting portions are capable of having an average light level in the range of 0.5 fc to 3.0 fc as measured in a horizontal plane.

7 . The light of claim 6 , wherein the average light level is 1.5 fc as measured in the horizontal plane.

8 . The light of claim 1 , wherein the two or more lighting portions includes eight or more lighting portions.

9 . The light of claim 1 , wherein the two or more LEDs includes sixteen or more LEDs.

10 . The light of claim 1 , wherein the two or more lighting portions are circumferentially spaced apart from each other equally about the longitudinal axis.

11 . The light of claim 1 , wherein the Bluetooth amplifier is capable of transmitting a readable Bluetooth signal 30 m or more along an unobstructed line of sight.

12 . The light of claim 1 , wherein the Bluetooth receiver is capable of receiving and sending Bluetooth signals including information for up to two hundred and fifty lights.

13 . The light of claim 1 , wherein the long-range Bluetooth mesh module is a Bluetooth Low Energy device.

14 . A lighting system comprising:

a first light and a second light each comprising:

a central body having a longitudinal axis, a first portion, and a second portion opposite and spaced apart along the longitudinal axis from the first portion;

two or more lighting portions each including two or more LEDs, wherein the two or more LEDs of each of the two or more lighting portions are linearly spaced apart from each other such that each of the two or more lighting portions extend from the first portion to the second portion, wherein the two or more lighting portions are circumferentially spaced apart from each other about the longitudinal axis; and

a long-range Bluetooth mesh module having:

a controller for controlling parameters of the two or more LEDs;

a Bluetooth receiver; and

a Bluetooth amplifier,

wherein the long-range Bluetooth mesh module of the first light is capable of sending to the second light a signal including information for the parameters of the first light and the second light, and

wherein the long-range Bluetooth mesh module of the second light is capable of receiving the signal and adjusting the parameters of the second light based on the information included in the signal.

15 . The lighting system of claim 14 , wherein the first light and the second light each further comprise an E26/27 medium connector or an E39/40 mogul connector.

16 . The lighting system of claim 14 , wherein the two or more lighting portions of each of the first light and the second light are a total of 60 W.

17 . The lighting system of claim 14 , wherein the two or more RGB LEDs of each of the first light and the second light comprise two or more red-green-blue-white (RGBW) LEDs.

18 . The light system of claim 14 , wherein the two or more RGB LEDs of each of the first light and the second light comprise two or more red-green-blue-amber (RGBA) LEDs.

19 . The light system of claim 14 , wherein the two or more lighting portions are capable of having an average light level in the range of 0.5 fc to 3.0 fc as measured in a horizontal plane.

20 . The light system of claim 19 , wherein the average light level is 1.5 fc as measured in the horizontal plane.

21 . The lighting system of claim 14 , wherein the two or more lighting portions of each of the first light and the second light includes eight or more lighting portions.

22 . The lighting system of claim 14 , wherein the two or more LEDs of each of the first light and the second light includes sixteen or more LEDs.

23 . The lighting system of claim 14 , wherein the two or more lighting portions of each of the first light and the second light are circumferentially spaced apart from each other equally about the longitudinal axis.

24 . The lighting system of claim 14 , wherein the Bluetooth amplifier of each of the first light and the second light is capable of transmitting a readable Bluetooth signal 30 m or more along an unobstructed line of sight.

25 . The lighting system of claim 14 , wherein the Bluetooth receiver of each of the first light and the second light is capable of receiving and sending Bluetooth signals including information for up to two hundred and fifty lights.

26 . The lighting system of claim 14 , wherein the long-range Bluetooth mesh module of the first light and the second light is a Bluetooth Low Energy device.
