[0002] The popularity of track lighting continues to grow. In addition to traditional commercial and / or industrial applications, track lighting has become more popular in residential applications. Typically, a track lighting system includes a luminaire mounted in a track and electrically connected to the track so that the luminaire can be variably positioned along the track. The track is typically secured to the ceiling of the structure. However, the growing demand for track lighting has also brought with it a demand for track lighting systems with new configurations and new features.

Each of the light-emitting bodies is provided with a pin assembly, and the support surface comprises one or more receiving holes suitable for accommodating the pin assembly of each light-emitting body. The light-emitting body can be removably connected to the support surface, wherein the pin is in contact with the track. The magnetic force tends to maintain and / or promote the contact between the pin and the track.

[0006] The present disclosure relates to a light emitting diode (LED) lamp module and a track lighting system having a track and one or more LED lamp modules. The track includes a housing, a positive electrode and a negative electrode. Each LED lamp module includes a track connector, a plurality of LED light sources and a light exit window. The track connector mechanically couples the LED lamp module to the track. The track connector also electrically couples the LED lamp module to the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the track. For the purpose of balance and weight distribution, the track connector is arranged approximately at the central area of ​​the LED lamp module. The light generated by the plurality of LED light sources leaves the module through the light exit window, which is like the module itself. Applicants have recognized and appreciated that lamp modules can be modularly connected together to generate track lighting patterns, thereby providing new lighting configurations and / or features.

In addition, the LED lamp modules can be mechanically and / or electrically connected to each other via module connectors arranged on their respective ends. The LED lamp modules can also be mechanically and / or electrically connected to bridge LED lamp modules. Bridge LED lamp modules lack track connectors and therefore rely on adjacent LED lamp modules for power and mechanical support. This modularity allows the formation of customized, tortuous lamp systems. In an embodiment, the LED lamp modules can form a sinusoidal lighting pattern. In this configuration, the LED lamp modules can be programmed to generate a continuous light emission pattern that propagates from one LED lamp module to another LED lamp module. This can be facilitated by allocating the light source of each LED lamp module into segments that can be controlled via a controller. The controller can then control one or more lighting properties of each individual segment, such as color, intensity, and pattern.

[0008] The lighting properties of the light source of the LED luminaire module can be further controlled based on orientation data corresponding to the orientation of each module or each segment of the light source of each module. In one example, the user manually inputs the orientation data of each LED luminaire module or each segment via a user interface. In another example, the orientation data can be generated by an orientation sensor embedded in each LED luminaire module. The orientation sensor can generate the orientation data based on the rotational position of the track connector relative to the positive and negative electrodes of the track. The LED luminaire module may also include additional sensors configured to generate sensor data for activity detection purposes. The LED luminaire module may also include a lock to secure the module in place relative to the track.

The LED lamp module may include an orientation sensor configured to generate the orientation data. In some examples, the LED lamp module may be further configured to adjust the one or more lighting properties based on the activity detection data.

[0016] According to one example, the LED lamp module may further include a lock configured to fix the LED lamp module relative to the track.

[0017] In general, in another aspect, a track lighting system is provided. The track lighting system includes a track. The track includes a housing. The track further includes a positive electrode. The track further includes a negative electrode.

[0039] The present disclosure relates to a light emitting diode (LED) module for a lamp and a track lighting system having a track and one or more LED lamp modules. The track includes a housing, a positive electrode and a negative electrode. Each LED lamp module includes a track connector, a plurality of LED light sources and a light exit window. The track connector mechanically couples the LED lamp module to the track. The track connector also electrically couples the LED lamp module to the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the track. For the purpose of balance and weight distribution, the track connector is arranged approximately at the central area of ​​the LED lamp module. The LED light generated by the plurality of light sources leaves the module through the light exit window, which is like the module itself. Applicants have recognized and appreciated that lamp modules can be modularly connected together to generate track lighting patterns, thereby providing new lighting configurations and / or features. Applicants have also recognized and appreciated that the spatial direction of light emitted by each segment of the LED lamp module can vary based on the selected mounting orientation of the track lighting module.

[0040] Figure 1A schematic diagram of a track lighting system 1 is shown. Generally, the track lighting system includes at least a track 10 and a first LED lamp module 100. In some examples, the track lighting system 1 includes a second LED lamp module 200. As will be demonstrated, any number of LED lamp modules 100 may be used, depending on the application. In some examples, the second LED lamp module 200 may be (substantially) similar to the first LED lamp module 100 in size, shape, orientation, or any other characteristic or combination or characteristic.

[0041] In this example, the first LED lamp module 100 includes a track connector 102, a plurality of LED light sources 104, an orientation sensor 134, an activity detection sensor 138, a controller 150, and a transceiver 195. The track connector 102 mechanically and / or electrically couples the first LED lamp module 100 to the track 10. In one example, the track connector 102 mechanically secures the first LED lamp module 100 to the housing 12 of the track 10 (see FIG. 1 ). Figure 2 In another example, in addition to the mechanical connection, the track connector 102 is also connected to the positive electrode 14 and the negative electrode 16 of the track 10 (see Figure 2 ) to form an electrical connection. The rail connector 102 can have any practical connector type or shape.

[0042] The LED light source 104 can be any combination of semiconductor-based or diode-based devices capable of generating light 105. In a preferred example, the LED light source 104 is a standard light emitting diode. In other examples, the LED light source 104 can be a laser component, such as a surface mounted laser diode and / or device. In yet another example, the LED light source 104 can be an organic LED (OLED). Some examples of the flexible body 102 can incorporate a combination of different types of LED light sources 104.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 1 , LED light 105 is emitted by LED light source 104. LED light 105 is emitted through light exit window 106 (see FIG. 1 ). Figure 3-Figure 6 ) is emitted from the first LED luminaire module 100 as module light 101. The sum of all module lights 101 generated by all LED luminaire modules 100 of the track lighting system 1 may be referred to as system light. As will be described below, a plurality of LED light sources 104 may be arranged in a manner. Similarly, the light exit window 106 may also be. In some examples, the light exit window 106 (substantially) follows the overall shape of the LED luminaire module 100. The module light 101, 201 emitted by the first or second LED luminaire module 100, 200 is preferably white light. The white light may have a correlated color temperature in the range from 2000 to 6000 Kelvin. The white light may have a color rendering index of at least 80.

[0044] The orientation sensor 134 generates orientation data 132 corresponding to the orientation of the LED lamp module 100 (see Fig.10 In one example, the orientation sensor 134 may generate the orientation data 132 by detecting a rotational position of the track connector 102 relative to the positive electrode 14 and / or the negative electrode 16 of the track 10 .

[0045] Similarly, the activity detection sensor 138 generates activity detection data 140 corresponding to individuals that fall within the field of view of the activity detection sensor 138 (see Fig.10 ). The activity detection sensor 138 can be configured to detect a variety of activities. In one example, the activity detection sensor 138 is configured for fall detection or attack detection. In another example, the activity detection sensor 138 can be configured to determine whether an individual is wandering around a retail store, pushing a shopping cart, or reading.

[0046] For example, the activity detection sensor 138 can be a motion sensor, such as an infrared (IR) motion sensor. The fall detection sensor 138 can also use radio frequency (RF) sensing, time of flight (ToF) sensing, image sensing, thermopile sensing, Wi-Fi Doppler sensing, and / or radar to generate activity detection data 140. In an embodiment, each segment of the light source can include a sensor component for activity detection, such as one or more antenna structures. Activity sensing can be configured or reconfigured (e.g., selecting which antennas to use for which activity sensing tasks) depending on the detected orientation data 132 of the LED luminaire module 100. For example, a horizontally oriented antenna can be used to sense air quality (e.g., using millimeter wave-based RF sensing), while an additional antenna facing the floor of a shopping aisle can be used for fall detection.

[0047] The first LED lamp module 100 further includes a controller 150. The controller 150 may include a memory 175 and a processor 185 (see Fig.10 ). The controller 150 may be configured to control the lighting by setting one or more lighting attributes 130 (see Fig.10) (such as color, intensity, pattern, etc.) to control the light 105 emitted by the plurality of LED light sources 104. The lighting properties 130 can be set based on the orientation data 132 and / or the activity detection data 140. For example, the orientation data 132 corresponding to a first orientation can cause the controller 150 to illuminate the LED light sources 104 according to a first pattern. If the orientation data 132 is updated to a second orientation (such as due to the orientation sensor 134 detecting a rotation of the LED lamp module 100), the controller 150 can program the LED light sources 104 to illuminate according to the second pattern. The orientation sensor can determine the orientation of the LED lamp module 100 in a 2D plane or in 3D. In another example, if the activity detection data 140 indicates a fall, the controller 150 can adjust the lighting properties 130, such as by increasing the intensity, changing the color, or flashing the light. The term "lighting properties" is intended to refer to the quality and / or characteristics of the light 105 emitted from the lamp that describe and / or define the emitted light 105.

[0048] In some examples, the lighting properties 130 of the first LED luminaire module 100 can be controlled by an external controller 50. In some examples, the controller 50 is local to the first LED luminaire module 100, such as in the same room. In other examples, the controller 50 can be located remotely, such as part of a connected lighting system that controls the lighting of an entire building. The external controller 50 may include a processor 51, a memory 53, and a transceiver 55 for enabling wireless communication with the first LED luminaire module 100 via the transceiver 195. In one example, the controller 50 can relay a dimming command from the entire connected lighting system. Upon receiving the command, the controller 150 of the first LED luminaire module 100 reduces the intensity of the LED light 105 emitted by the plurality of light sources 104 and / or the module light 101 exiting the light exit window 106.

[0049] In some examples, the lighting properties 130 of the first LED lamp module 100 can be controlled by the user interface 60. In one example, the user interface 60 includes a processor 61, a memory 63, and a transceiver 65 to wirelessly communicate directly with the controller 50 and / or the first lamp module 100. In one example, the user interface 60 can be used to receive the orientation data 132. This can be particularly useful in arrangements where the orientation sensor 134 is not capable of determining the orientation of the first LED lamp module 100 or in embodiments where the lamp module omits the orientation sensor 134. The user interface 60 can then wirelessly transmit the orientation data 132 to the first LED lamp module 100 to update the lighting properties 130 of its corresponding light 105.

[0050] like Figure 1As further shown in FIG. 1 , the track lighting system 1 may also include a second LED lamp module 200. The second LED lamp module 200 may be configured in the same manner as the first LED lamp module 100. The second LED lamp module 200 may include a track connector 202, a plurality of light sources 204, an orientation sensor 234, an activity detection sensor 238, a controller 250, and a transceiver 295.

[0051] Figure 2 Depicted Figure 1 The track 10 of the track lighting system 1 of the present invention. In general, the track 10 includes a housing 12, a positive electrode 14 and a negative electrode 16. The housing 12 is shaped to receive a track connector 102 (see FIG. 1 ) in an opening 18. Figure 3 ). The housing 12 can be made of any suitable material or combination of materials, such as metal and / or plastic. Minimally, the opening 18 mechanically couples the track connector 102 to the track 10 so that the corresponding LED lamp module 100 can be safely suspended below the track 10. In other examples, the track connector 102 is also electrically coupled to the positive electrode 14 and / or the negative electrode 16. If the track connector 102 is electrically coupled to the positive electrode 14 and the negative electrode 16, a complete circuit will be formed within the LED lamp module 100, and power will be supplied to the plurality of LED light sources 104 (see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In other examples, the LED lamp module 100 may include a pair of track connectors 102a, 102b mechanically coupled to the housing 12 of the track 10 (see Figure 5 In this example, a complete circuit is formed by a first track connector 102a electrically coupled to the positive electrode 14 and a second track connector 102b electrically coupled to the negative electrode 16.

[0052] Figure 3 A bottom view of an LED luminaire module 100 coupled to a track 10 is depicted. The LED luminaire module 100 includes a track connector 102, a plurality of LED light sources 104, a light exit window 106, and a pair of module connectors 126a, 126b at ends 128a, 128b, respectively. As shown, the LED luminaire module 100 is S-shaped and in the form of an S-shape. Alternatively, the LED luminaire module 100 may be any other shape, such as an inverted S-shape, a Z-shape, or an inverted Z-shape. Although Figure 3 The LED lamp module 100 is depicted in a two-dimensional plane, but the LED lamp module 100 may also be in three-dimensional space. For example, the LED lamp module 100 may incorporate a half-spiral shape.

[0053] Figure 3The plurality of LED light sources 104 in the embodiment are arranged in two parallel rows or columns, depending on the orientation of the portion of the LED luminaire module 100 containing the LED light sources 104. However, any other actual number and / or arrangement of the LED light sources 104 may be implemented, depending on the application.

[0054] The light 105 generated by the LED light source 104 (see Figure 1 ) is emitted by the LED lamp module 100 as module light 101 through the light exit window 106. Figure 3 As shown in , the light exit window 106 is also and follows the overall shape of the LED luminaire module 100. The light exit window 106 can be made of any transparent material, such as plastic or glass or any suitable alternative material, including patterned materials comprising transparent or translucent parts and less transparent or translucent or opaque parts. In some examples, the light exit window 106 can be (substantially) S-shaped, reverse S-shaped, Z-shaped or reverse Z-shaped.

[0055] As described above, the track connector 102 mechanically and / or electrically couples the LED lamp module 100 to the track 10. Figure 3 In the example of FIG. 1 , the track connector 102 is coupled to the center region 108 of the S-shaped LED lamp module 100. By coupling to the center region 108 of the LED lamp module 100, the track connector 102 provides better stability, balance, and weight distribution than if the track connector 102 were coupled near one of the ends 128a, 128b of the LED lamp module 100. The track connector 102 also includes a lock 136 configured to secure the LED lamp module 100 in place relative to the track 10.

[0056] The LED lamp module 100 includes a pair of module connectors 126a, 126b disposed at ends 128a, 128b of the LED lamp module 100. Figure 3 In some examples, the first module connector 126a is arranged at the first end 126a, and the second module connector 126b is arranged at the second end 126b. In some examples, the module connectors 126a, 126b are configured to mechanically couple the LED lamp module 100 to the second LED lamp module 200 (see Figure 6 In another example, one or both of the module connectors 126a, 126b are configured to electrically couple the LED lamp module 100 to the second LED lamp module 200. In this way, the light source 204 of the second LED lamp module 200 is illuminated (see Figure 1 )The power required is provided by the first LED lamp module 100.

[0057] exist Figure 3In an example, the track 10 can be fixed to the ceiling of the structure, and the LED light source 104 faces downward away from the ceiling, so that the module light 101 leaving the light emission window 106 is perpendicular to the ground or ceiling. In an alternative example, the LED luminaire module 100 (or a portion thereof) can be tilted so that the module light 101 approaches the ground at a non-perpendicular angle. Of course, the track 10 can alternatively be fixed to the side wall of the structure instead of the ceiling, and the LED light source 104 can face away from the side wall, so that the module light 101 emitted by the light emission window 106 is perpendicular to the side wall and parallel to the ceiling and / or the ground or floor. The LED luminaire module 100 can also be tilted so that the module light 101 is emitted from the side wall at a certain angle.

[0058] In addition, Figure 3 In the example of FIG. 1 , the LED luminaire module 100 has a magnitude distance 142a, 142b of at least 30 centimeters or 300 millimeters from the track 10 on either side of the track 10. In an alternative example, the magnitude distance 142 is less than 60 centimeters or 600 millimeters. Figure 3 In the example of FIG. 1 , the first amplitude distance 142a is (substantially) equal to the second amplitude distance 142b to improve stability and balance. However, in other examples, the first amplitude distance 142a may be (substantially) different from the second amplitude distance 142b. The amplitude distances 142a, 142b of the LED lamp module 100 may be configured to optimize the stability of the LED lamp module 100 suspended from the track 10.

[0059] Another example of the LED lamp module 100 is Figure 4 In particular, Figure 4 The LED lamp module 100 is shown divided into three sections 110, 114, 120. The first section 110 includes the lower horizontal portion of the LED lamp module 100. The second section 114 includes the middle vertical portion of the LED lamp module 100. The second section 114 is arranged at a first angle 118 relative to the first section 110. Figure 4 In the example of , the first angle 118 is approximately 90 degrees. Therefore, in some examples, the second section 114 can be arranged perpendicular to the track 10 (see Figure 3 ), especially when the LED lamp module 100 is S-shaped or reverse S-shaped. In addition, in some examples, the track connector 102 (see Figure 3 ) may be arranged together with a region or portion of the second segment 114. The third segment 120 includes an upper horizontal portion of the LED lamp module 100. The third segment 120 is arranged approximately parallel to the first segment 110. The third segment 120 is arranged at a second angle 124 relative to the second segment 114. Figure 4 In the example of , the second angle 124 is approximately 90 degrees. Figure 4In the preferred example shown, the first angle 118 is (substantially) similar to the second angle 124. Thus, in some examples, the first and third segments 110, 120 may be arranged parallel to the track 10, especially when the LED luminaire module 100 is Z-shaped or reverse Z-shaped. Other segment variations are possible depending on the application.

[0060] In further examples, the S-shaped, reverse S-shaped, Z-shaped, and reverse Z-shaped modules may have first and second angles 118, 124 other than approximately 90 degrees. In some examples, the first and / or second angles 118, 124 of the Z-shaped or reverse Z-shaped modules may be greater than or less than 90 degrees, such as in a range from 30 to 80 degrees or from 100 to 150 degrees. Furthermore, in some examples, the first angle 118 of the module may be greater than or less than the second angle 124.

[0061] Each segment 110, 114, 120 includes a corresponding portion of the LED light source 104. The first segment 110 includes a first portion 112 of the LED light source 104, the second segment 114 includes a second portion 116 of the LED light source 104, and the third segment 120 includes a third portion 122 of the LED light source 104. By grouping the portions 112, 116, 122 of the LED light source 104, the LED luminaire module 100 can be configured to illuminate the respective portions 112, 116, 122 differently. In one example, the first portion 112 of the LED light source 104 can generate light 105 having a low intensity (see Figure 1 ), the second portion 116 of the LED light source 104 can generate light 105 with a medium intensity, and the third portion 122 of the LED light source 104 can generate light 105 with a high intensity. Low, medium, and high intensity light can be generated simultaneously. Other lighting properties 130 of the LED light source 104 (see Fig.10 ) can vary from segment to segment. In some examples, the segments can be controlled by the controller 150 (see Fig.10 ) is automated based on the overall desired lighting properties 130. For example, if the lighting pattern requires six sections of LED light sources 104, the controller 150 can automatically divide the plurality of LED light sources 104 into six sections.

[0062] Figure 5 Shows Figure 3 and Figure 4 A variation of the LED lamp module 100, wherein the LED lamp module 100 includes a pair of track connectors 102a and 102b. In this example, both track connectors 102a, 102b are mechanically coupled to the housing 12 of the track 10 (see Figure 2 ). In addition, either or both of the track connectors 102a, 102b electrically couple the LED lamp module 100 to the positive electrode 14 and / or the negative electrode 16 of the track 10 (see Figure 2 ). In one example, one of the track connectors 102a, 102b is electrically coupled to both the positive electrode 14 and the negative electrode 16, while the other track connector 102a, 102b is not electrically coupled to either electrode 14, 16. In an alternative example, one of the track connectors 102a, 102b is electrically coupled to one of the electrodes 14, 16, while the other track connector 102a, 102b is electrically coupled to the other electrode 14, 16.

[0063] Figure 6 A track lighting system 1 is shown having a track 10, a first LED luminaire module 100, and a second LED luminaire module 200. In this example, the first LED luminaire module 100 is mechanically coupled to the track 10 via a track connector 102, and the second LED luminaire module 200 is mechanically coupled to the track 10 via a track connector 202. In addition, the first LED luminaire module 100 includes a module connector 126, and the second LED luminaire module 200 also includes a module connector 226. In one example, the module connectors 126, 226 cooperate to mechanically connect the first LED luminaire module 100 to the second LED luminaire module 200. In some examples, the module connectors 126, 226 electrically connect the first LED luminaire module 100 to the second LED luminaire module 200. In one example, the track connector 102 mechanically and electrically couples the first LED luminaire module 100 to the track 10, thereby providing a LED light source 104 (see FIG. 1 ) of the first LED luminaire module 100. Figure 3 ) provides power. The track connector 202 mechanically, but not electrically, couples the second LED lamp module 200 to the track 10. However, the module connectors 126, 226 electrically couple the first LED lamp module 100 to the second LED lamp module 200, thereby providing power to the light source 204 (see Figure 1 In an alternative example, the second LED lamp module 200 can provide power to the LED light source 104 of the first LED lamp module 100 via the track connector 202 and the module connectors 126 , 226 .

[0064] In some examples, the second LED lamp module 200 may have some or all of the same features and configurations as the first LED lamp module 100. For example, the second LED lamp module 200 may be S-shaped, reversed S-shaped, Z-shaped, or reversed Z-shaped, and the light exit window 206 is preferably also S-shaped, reversed S-shaped, Z-shaped, or reversed Z-shaped.

[0065] More generally, a variety of combinations of module shapes can be configured to couple to each other. For example, a Z-shaped module can be connected to an inverse Z-shaped module, an S-shaped module can be connected to an inverse S-shaped module, a Z-shaped module can be connected to an S-shaped module, and / or an inverse Z-shaped module can be connected to an inverse S-shaped module. Other coupling configurations may be possible.

[0066] Figure 7 A track lighting system 1 is shown, which has a track 10, four LED luminaire modules 100, 200, 300, 400 and a bridge luminaire module 500. Figure 7 The example of FIG. 1 shows a total of five luminaire modules 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, but the modularity of the luminaire modules allows any practical number of modules (two and / or bridges) to be used. In this example, the first LED luminaire module 100 can be mechanically and electrically connected to the track 10 via the track connector 102. The first LED luminaire module 100 is (substantially) S-shaped. In addition, although Figure 7 The entire system of FIG. 1 shows eight circles 5, but any practical number of circles 5 can be implemented. In addition, the amplitude distance 142 (see Figure 3 ) and / or spacing can vary between each of the luminaire modules 100 , 200 , 300 , 400 , 500 of the system 1 .

[0067] Second LED lamp module 200 is (substantially) inverted S-shaped. Second LED lamp module 200 can be mechanically and electrically connected to track 10 via track connector 202. Second LED lamp module 200 is also mechanically coupled to first LED lamp module 100. In some examples, second LED lamp module is not electrically coupled to track 10 via track connector 202, but is instead electrically coupled to first LED lamp module 100.

[0068] Similar to the first LED lamp module 100, the third LED lamp module 300 is also (substantially) S-shaped. The third LED lamp module 300 is mechanically and electrically coupled to the track 10 via the track connector 302. The fourth LED lamp module 400 is also mechanically coupled to the third LED lamp module 300. The fourth LED lamp module 400 is (substantially) Z-shaped and can be mechanically and electrically coupled to the track 10 via the track connector 402. In some examples, the fourth LED lamp module 400 is not electrically coupled to the track 10 via the track connector, but is instead electrically coupled to the third LED lamp module 300. In addition, it should be appreciated that the shape and / or orientation of the LED lamp modules 100, 200, 300, 400 can vary. For example, the ends of the first, second and third LED lamp modules 100, 200, 300 can be arranged at a first and a second distance from the track 10, respectively, and the first and second distances can be the same, such as the distance 142. While both ends of the first, second, and third LED lamp modules 100, 200, 300 are at first and second distances from the track 10, one end of the fourth LED lamp module 400 may be disposed below or under the track 10 at a third distance that is less than the first and second distances. Providing one end of the fourth LED lamp module 400 at the third distance allows for different lighting patterns. In an embodiment, the length from the end of the fourth LED lamp module 400 below the track 10 to the point of coupling to the track connector 402 has an increased length to provide improved balance. Thus, the portion of the fourth LED lamp module 400 that is connected to the third LED lamp module 300 is shorter in length than the portion of the fourth LED lamp module 400 that extends from the track connector 402 along the track 10.

[0069] Figure 7 The track lighting system 1 also includes a bridge luminaire module 500. Unlike the LED luminaire modules 100, 200, 300, 400, the bridge luminaire module 500 lacks a track connector 102, 202, 302, 402 to mechanically and / or electrically connect to the track 10. Instead, in this example, the bridge luminaire module 500 is mechanically coupled to the second LED luminaire module 200 and the third LED luminaire module 300. In addition, the bridge luminaire module 500 is electrically coupled to the LED luminaire module 200 and / or the third LED luminaire module 300. In this way, the bridge luminaire module 500 is powered by one (or a combination) of the second and / or third LED luminaire modules 200, 300 without being directly coupled to the track 10. The inclusion of the bridge luminaire module 500 increases the spacing between the second and third LED luminaire modules 200 , 300 , effectively “extending” the overall sinusoidal shape formed by the modules 100 , 200 , 300 , 400 , 500 .

[0070] Likewise Figure 7As shown in FIG. 1 , the luminaire modules 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 can be controlled to provide a continuous light emission pattern 3A throughout the luminaire modules 100, 200, 300, 400, 500. The continuous light emission pattern 3A radiates from the lower left corner of the first LED luminaire module 100 or the first end of the first LED luminaire module 100 and continues throughout the other luminaires 200, 300, 400, 500 of the system 1. The light density of the continuous light emission pattern 3A is highest at the first end of the first LED luminaire module 100 and lowest at the fourth LED luminaire module 400. Between the first end of the first LED luminaire module 100 and the fourth LED luminaire module 400, the light density decreases linearly or otherwise.

[0071] In some examples, the track lighting system 1 can be designed according to an algorithmic minimum or constraint regarding the total number of LED lamp modules 100 and turns 5. In one example, the track lighting system 1 can include N first LED lamp modules 100n and M second LED lamp modules 200m. In this example, N plus M is greater than or equal to 5 (N+M≥5), which means that the track lighting system 1 includes at least 5 LED lamp modules 100n, 200m. For example, the track lighting system 1 can have 4 first LED lamp modules 100 and 2 second LED lamp modules 200. In addition, for this example, the track lighting system 1 can be configured so that the LED lamp modules 100n, 200m have a minimum number of total turns 5 to form an overall zigzag configuration. For example, the N first LED modules 100n may have at least 3 total turns 5 (or, more preferably, 5 turns, or 7 turns, or 10 turns), and the M second LED modules 200m may have at least 3 total turns 5 (or, more preferably, 5 turns, 7 turns, or 10 turns). In addition, in order to form an overall meandering configuration, at least one of the following module coupling combinations is required: a Z-shaped module coupled to an inverted Z-shaped module, an S-shaped module coupled to an inverted S-shaped module, or a Z-shaped module coupled to an S-shaped module.

[0072] Figure 8 A further example of a continuous light emission pattern 3B radiating outwardly from the center C of the track lighting system 1 throughout the luminaire modules 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 is shown. Figure 8 In FIG. 5 , due to the configuration of modules 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, a central area of ​​track lighting system 1 is located within track 10, at a distance 542 from bridge luminaire module 500. Since the continuous light emission pattern 3B is circular in the depicted example, arcuate portions of light extend through each module.

[0073] Fig. 9A further example of a continuous light emission pattern 3C (as represented by the arrows) is shown that meanders in a left-to-right direction through the lighting modules 100, 200, 300, 400, 500. In some examples, the continuous light emission pattern 3C may implement a color temperature gradient or an intensity gradient, or any other gradient, throughout the pattern 3C.

[0074] Fig.10 1 is a schematic illustration of an LED luminaire module 100. In general, the LED luminaire module 100 includes a track connector 102, a plurality of LED light sources 104, an orientation sensor 134, an activity detection sensor 138, a controller 150, and a transceiver 195. The LED light source 104 can be divided into a combination of parts (such as a first part 102, a second part 116, and a third part 122). The controller 150 includes a memory 175 and a processor 185. The memory is configured to store orientation data 132, which can be captured by the orientation sensor 134 or received via the transceiver 195. The memory also stores activity detection data 140, which can be captured by the activity detection sensor 138 or received via the transceiver 195. The orientation data 132 and / or the activity detection data 140 received from the transceiver 195 can be received by an external controller 50 (see Figure 1 ) transmission, and may originate from the user interface 60 (see Figure 1 ) or other aspects of the connected lighting system. The processor 185 can control the illumination of the LED light source 104 according to the illumination properties 130 stored in the memory 175. These illumination properties 130 can be pre-programmed during manufacture or installation. In other examples, the processor 185 can update the illumination properties 130 based on the orientation data 132 and / or the activity detection data 140. For example, the activity detection data 140 indicating a fall can adjust the intensity of the LED light source 104, or it can cause the LED light source 104 to strobe in a periodic manner. In some examples, the illumination properties 130 can define such as Figure 7-Figure 9 The continuous light emission patterns 3A, 3B, 3C (or a portion thereof) shown in FIG.

[0075] Fig.11 1 is a flow chart of a method 1000 for controlling light emitted by an LED lamp module. The method 1000 includes receiving 1002 orientation data and / or activity detection data. In some examples, the orientation data is captured by an orientation sensor. In other examples, the orientation data is provided via a user interface. Similarly, in some examples, the activity detection data is captured via an activity detection sensor.

[0076] The method 1000 further includes updating 1004 one or more lighting properties based on the orientation data and / or the activity detection data. The term "lighting property" is intended to refer to the quality and / or characteristics of light emitted from a luminaire that describes and / or defines the emitted light. In one example, the lighting property can be configured to generate a continuous light emission pattern.

[0077] The method 1000 further includes adjusting 1006 light emitted by a first portion of the plurality of light sources of the LED lamp module based on the one or more lighting properties. The method 1000 further includes adjusting 1008 light emitted by a second portion of the plurality of light sources of the LED lamp module based on the one or more lighting properties, wherein the light emitted by the second portion of the plurality of light sources is different from the light emitted by the first portion of the plurality of light sources. The light emitted by the different portions of the light sources may vary in color, intensity, pattern, etc.
