Abstract: Systems and methods for collapsible lighting fixtures are disclosed. In aspects, a horticultural luminaire 100 has first and second light fixtures 110, 120 coupled in movable relation between storage and deployed positions by a coupling element 130 applying a retarding torque. Coupling element can be coupling shaft 250 providing friction, or friction hinge cartridge 260. In aspects, hinge 130 has ledge surfaces 218, 228 adjacent rotational hinge faces 216, 226 and extending transverse the rotational plane. In aspects, a horticultural luminaire has an articulated cableway extending through hinge 130 coupling light fixtures 110, 120 and guiding a cable entering from the exterior into cable passageways in light fixtures 110, 120, thereby lessening a cable pinch point during rotation and deployment.

Abstract: Embodiments may utilize a series of exposed fins, which increase the surface area of the heat sink creating additional air flow. As hotter air rises within the system, cooler is drawn into the heatsink. The fins may be exposed on both sides of the longitudinal axis, allowing cooler air to be drawn towards the longitudinal axis above the heatsink and flow upward. This process may cool the fins. Additionally, the spacing between the fins may have to be wide enough to allow for air to freely enter the heatsink.

Abstract: Apparatuses of various forms and each having at least one LED string controlled by a current controller biased by voltage tap nodes in the LED string, and circuitry for implementing the same. In some implementations, circuitry made in accordance with the present disclosure includes a current controller and current-control circuitry. The current controller is biased by a voltage drop across one or more LEDs in an LED string and controls the current-control circuitry in a manner that controls the electrical current in the LED string. In some implementations, one or more additional LED strings and/or one or more other devices may be controlled directly or indirectly by operation of the current controller.
