Abstract: A of using an ultraviolet (UV) light emitter is disclosed herein. The method includes measuring, by a processor, a first distance from the UV light emitter to a target surface, activating, by the processor, the UV light emitter, and recording, by the processor, a second distance from the UV light emitter to the target surface. The method further includes calculating, by the processor, an accumulated dose of UV light on the target surface based at least in part on the second distance and deactivating, by the processor, the UV light emitter in response to the accumulated dose reaching a target dose.

Abstract: A lighting unit may include a first light-emitting diode (“LED”), a second LED, and a third LED. The first LED may be configured to emit first electromagnetic radiation having a first wavelength of between about 600 nanometers (“nm”) and about 740 nm, the second LED may be configured to emit second electromagnetic radiation having a second wavelength of between about 500 nm and about 565 nm, and the third LED may be configured to emit third electromagnetic radiation having a third wavelength between about 315 nm and about 430 nm. Thus, the third electromagnetic radiation may be disinfecting UV-A radiation that is incorporated into a lighting unit that produces visible light.

Abstract: A flexible LED lighting module includes a flexible housing and flexible PCB to which LED units are mounted. An encapsulant fills a channel of the flexible housing and has a same or similar optical refractive index value as is used in the LED unit to hold phosphorous particles used for coloring of the LED. Use of the encapsulant changes the color of the light ultimately emitted from the flexible LED lighting module, and this factor is corrected for in calibration processes associated with the flexible LED lighting module.

Abstract: An aircraft lighting system includes quantum dot light-emitting diodes (“QLEDs”), including a first QLED of a first color and a second QLED of a second color. The system also includes logic circuitry configured to control the QLEDs to emit light in a first brightness ratio to create a light of a first metamer of a color and control the QLEDs to emit light in a second brightness ratio to create a light of a second metamer of the color.

Abstract: A wearable light assembly includes an opaque housing that is open towards the ground and is configured to reflect light emitted from a first light source downward onto a first location that is close to the wearer and reflect light from a second light source downward onto a second location on the ground that is farther away from the wearer than the first location. In an embodiment, the wearable light assembly senses motion of the wearer and switches between the first light source and the second light source depending on whether the wearer is moving slowly (in which case it activates the first light source) or moving quickly (in which case it activates the second light source).

Abstract: The present disclosure is generally directed to an interior lighting system for an aircraft, in which individual lighting elements (or groups of lighting elements) can be controlled to emit light of various colors and brightness according to the position of a cart, such as a galley cart. According to an embodiment, a processor that controls the system receives signals from one or more sensors around the aircraft cabin (e.g., radio frequency identification (“RFID”) readers or optical scanners) that indicate the current position of the cart (e.g., by detecting an RFID tag on the cart) and, based on the position of the cart, sends commands to the various lighting elements around the cabin to execute a lighting scene (e.g., gradually raise the lights as the cart comes through).
