Abstract

Described is a method for method for controlling the movement of LED devices in luminaires, specifically to a method relating to allowing both synchronized and independent pan and tilt movement of LED light modules in a light curtain. The LEDs may be mounted in a plurality of modules. The modules may be in a linear arrangement. The LEDs may be mounted in a plurality of modules that are arrayed in a two dimensional array. The modules in the linear arrangement or in the two dimensional array may be mounted in groups forming modular group assemblies where modular group assembly are independently articulated to pan and/or tilt the modules mounted thereon independent of other modular group assemblies.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A luminaire comprising
a plurality of LED modules into which are mounted at least one LED; a common carrier in which the plurality of LED modules are mounted; a global articulator which articulates a common rotational orientation of the LED Modules; a plurality of independent articulators which independently articulate an orientation of individual LED Modules in a rotational orientation orthogonal to the orientation articulated by the global articulator.

2 . The luminaire of claim 1 where the global orientation is pan and the independent articulators articulate tilt orientation(s).

3 . The luminaire of claim 1 where the global orientation is tilt and the independent articulators articulate pan orientation(s).

4 . The luminaire of claim 1 where the LED modules are mounted in a linear arrangement.

5 . The luminaire of claim 1 where the plurality of independent articulators articulate a group of LED modules independently of other group(s) of LED modules.

6 . The luminaire of claim 4 where the plurality of independent articulators articulate a group of LED modules independently of other group(s) of LED modules.

7 . A luminaire comprising
a plurality of LED modules into which are mounted at least one LED; a common carrier in which the plurality of LED modules are mounted; a first plurality of independent articulators which independently articulate an orientation of individual LED Modules in a first rotational orientation orthogonal to the orientation articulated by the global articulator. a second plurality of independent articulators which independently articulate an orientation of individual LED Modules in a second rotational orientation which is orthogonal to the first rotational.

8 . The luminaire of claim 7 which further comprising a carrier pan articulator which articulates a pan orientation of the common carrier.

9 . The luminaire of claim 7 which further comprising a carrier tilt articulator which articulates a tilt orientation of the common carrier.

10 . The luminaire of claim 9 which further comprising a carrier tilt articulator which articulates a tilt orientation of the common carrier.

11 . The luminaire of claim 7 where the LED modules are mounted in a linear arrangement.

12 . The luminaire of claim 7 where the first and second plurality of independent articulators articulate independent group(s) of LED modules independently of other group(s) of LED modules.

13 . The luminaire of claim 10 where the plurality of independent articulators articulate a group of LED modules independently of other group(s) of LED modules.
