Abstract

One embodiment of a fully integrated intelligent lighting module with built-in heat sink allows conventional electrodeless discharge lamps, LED, or electrodeless plasma lamps to be converted into intelligent electrodeless discharge lamps or electrodeless plasma lamps with minimal effort. Such a module may be comprised of a driver for an electrodeless discharge lamp or electrodeless plasma lamp capable of operating from 120-277V at 50/60 Hz as well as 347V and 480V in different models; a dimming chip; a sensor chip with clock to monitor the time and power used; a ROM module to store the data collected by the sensor chip; on-board non-volatile memory; a wireless communication module; and an external display and programming controls. Such a module allows users who install it into any pre-existing “dumb” light fixture to quickly and easily convert that fixture into an “intelligent” one.

Claims

1. A fully integrated intelligent lighting module allowing a light fixture to receive information and communicate wirelessly with other fixtures comprising:

a power means to provide electricity to said fixture; and

a micro controller to enable wireless energy-management.

2. The intelligent lighting module of claim 1 further comprising a sensor.

3. The intelligent lighting module of claim 2 wherein said sensor is a microwave sensor.

4. The intelligent lighting module of claim 2 wherein said sensor is a motion sensor.
