Abstract

A lighting system includes a solid state luminaire configured to be mounted to provide task lighting to at least one area, a user interface configured to accept lighting settings for the lighting system, and a user interface configured to enable at least one of the solid state luminaire and an area light source to be controlled to provide a desired illumination level to a workspace, wherein the solid state luminaire and the area light source both illuminate the workspace.

Claims

1. A lighting system comprising:

a solid state luminaire configured to be mounted to provide task lighting to at least one area;

a user interface configured to accept lighting settings for the lighting system; and

a user interface configured to enable at least one of the solid state luminaire and an area light source to be controlled to provide a desired illumination level to a workspace, wherein the solid state luminaire and the area light source both illuminate the workspace.

2. The lighting system of claim 1, wherein the user interface sets a dimming level of the solid state luminaire to provide the desired illumination level.

3. The lighting system of claim 1, wherein the user interface sets a dimming level of the area light source to provide the desired illumination level.

4. The lighting system of claim 3, wherein an overall power consumption by the solid state luminaire and the area light source is reduced by setting the dimming level of the area light source without reducing the desired illumination level to the workspace.

5. The lighting system of claim 3, wherein the area light source comprises a dimmable solid state lamp replacement for a fluorescent lamp fixture.

6. The lighting system of claim 5, further comprising a diffuser mounted adjacent the dimmable solid state lamp replacement.

7. The lighting system of claim 6, wherein the diffuser is mounted to the dimmable solid state lamp replacement by a plurality of clips.

8. The lighting system of claim 7, wherein the plurality of clips each comprise at least two curved arms configured to partially surround the dimmable solid state lamp replacement and a mounting member connected to the at least two curved arms, wherein the mounting member is configured to be attached to the diffuser.

9. The lighting system of claim 8, wherein the mounting member is configured to be attached to the diffuser by an adhesive.
