Lighting system and method to control a lighting system
First Claim
1. A method for controlling a lighting system comprising:
- powering ON a light source, the light source having a high intensity level, an adjustable standby intensity level, and an OFF intensity level, and wherein the adjustable standby intensity level is dimmer than the high intensity level but brighter than the OFF intensity level;
decreasing an intensity of the light source from the high intensity level to the adjustable standby intensity level when a sensor of the lighting system fails to detect a person'"'"'s presence within a predetermined period of time; and
adjusting a light intensity setting of the adjustable standby intensity level based on an amount of human traffic detected by the sensor within one or more periods of time, the light intensity setting controlling a light intensity of the adjustable standby intensity level, wherein the light intensity setting of the adjustable standby intensity level is adjusted for a subsequent utilization of the adjustable standby intensity level.

Abstract
An LED lighting system is disclosed, which generally consists of an enclosure, one or more LED modules, one or more transformers, and one or more drivers. A lamp assembly is disclosed, which generally consists of one or more vertically oriented LED chips, thermally conductive shells, and a thermally dissipating means positioned at the back of the LED chips. An LED module is disclosed, which generally consists of a lamp assembly, one or more reflectors and modules caps. A method of controlling light intensities is disclosed, which generally consists of method of decreasing light intensities in areas with little occupancy while minimizing user annoyance resulting from drastic light intensity fluctuations. A universal mounting bracket is disclosed, which generally consists of a fixture plate, mounting plate, and an adjustable means.

17. A lighting system comprising:
-
a light source having a high intensity level, an adjustable standby intensity level, and an OFF intensity level, the adjustable standby intensity level being dimmer than the high intensity level and brighter than the OFF intensity level; a sensor adapted to detect a person'"'"'s presence; and a light controller communicatively coupled to the light source and the sensor, the light controller adapted to decrease an intensity of the light source from the high intensity level to the adjustable standby intensity level when the sensor fails to detect a person'"'"'s presence within a predetermined period of time, and adjust a light intensity setting of the adjustable standby intensity level based on an amount of human traffic detected by the sensor within one or more periods of time, the light intensity setting controlling a light intensity of the adjustable standby intensity level, wherein the light intensity setting of the adjustable standby intensity level is adjusted for a subsequent utilization of the adjustable standby intensity level. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
