Lighting system with wake-up light source and beaconing mode
A lighting system described in the patent application US20240032176A1 includes a wake-up light source emitting a wake-up light beam and a plurality of luminaires in a space. Each luminaire comprises an illumination light source, a light sensor, a wireless transceiver, a memory, and a processor. The wake-up programming in the memory allows the luminaire to detect light measurements above a threshold, determine if they follow a pattern, and enter a beaconing mode if the pattern is recognized. The system calibrates light levels based on ambient light, compares them to a wake-up sequence, and ensures the ON cycle time and ON/OFF transition time meet specific criteria.
Furthermore, the patent application also includes a non-transitory machine-readable medium with wake-up programming enabling a luminaire to detect light measurements, identify a pattern, and enter a beaconing mode. The medium calibrates light levels based on ambient light, compares them to a wake-up sequence, and ensures the criteria for ON cycle time and ON/OFF transition time are met. Additionally, a luminaire described in the patent application includes similar components as the lighting system, with the wake-up programming allowing it to detect light measurements, identify a pattern, and enter a beaconing mode based on specific criteria. The system aims to provide an efficient and customizable lighting solution for spaces using advanced programming and calibration techniques.
