Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein describe systems and methods associated with light mounting systems. Embodiments may include lighting shelves that are configured to be mounted to a fixed structure, such as to a wall or supports within a room via a cantilever design that is mounted to strut channels. The lighting shelves may be anchored at only a single end to the strut channels, and the lighting shelves may protrude away from the strut channels. The lighting shelves may have a sufficient width and length to cover an entire region of interest below the lighting shelves, which may enable to lighting shelves to uniformly distribute light to plants.

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: Vorrichtungen (100) verschiedener Arten und jede hat mindestens eine LED-Kette (104(1)), die von einem durch Spannungs-Abgreif-Knoten in der LED-Kette (104(1)) vorgespannten Stromregler (212C) gesteuert wird, und einen Schaltkreis zum Implementieren derselben. In manchen Implementierungen weist ein gemäß der vorliegenden Offenbarung hergestellter Schaltkreis einen Stromregler (212C) und eine Strom-Regel-Schaltung (212A) auf. Der Stromregler (212C) ist durch einen Spannungsabfall über eine oder mehrere LEDs in einer LED-Kette (104(1)) vorgespannt und regelt die Strom-Regel-Schaltung (212A) in einer Weise, die den elektrischen Strom in der LED-Kette (104(1)) regelt. In manchen Implementierungen können eine oder mehrere zusätzliche LED-Ketten (104(2), ... 104(N)) und/oder eine oder mehrere andere Vorrichtungen direkt oder indirekt durch den Betrieb des Stromreglers (212C) geregelt werden.

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.
