Patent attributes
A luminaire having an electronically adjustable light beam distribution is disclosed. In accordance with some embodiments, the disclosed luminaire includes a housing, for example, of hemi-cylindrical, oblate hemi-cylindrical, oblong elliptical, or polyhedral shape. The disclosed luminaire also includes a plurality of solid-state light sources arranged over its housing, in accordance with some embodiments. The one or more solid-state emitters of a given solid-state light source may be addressable individually and/or in one or more groupings, in some embodiments. As such, the solid-state light sources can be electronically controlled individually and/or in conjunction with one another, providing for highly adjustable light emissions from the host luminaire, in accordance with some embodiments. One or more heat sinks may be mounted on the housing to assist with heat dissipation for the solid-state light sources. The luminaire can be configured, for example, to be mounted or as a free-standing lighting device, as desired.
