Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
       [0001]    The present invention relates to a system, method, method for manufacturing, and apparatus, among other things, a lighting system; and more particularly, a lighting system including at least one light emitting diode (LED) device. 
       RELATED INFORMATION 
       [0002]    Light emitting diodes (LEDs) were originally used in limited circumstances, e.g., for aviation control panels and computer mainframes, due to their limited color spectrum and intensity. Since then, the use of LED lighting has become so diversified that the developments in lighting technology and semi-conductor construction have led to LED lighting that is brighter, i.e., more intense, and covers every color in the visible light spectrum as well as infrared and ultra-violet. In practice, LEDs are now used to illuminate not only offices and residences, but also streets and highways. LED&#39;s low energy consumption, long lamp life, and small size make them an attractive option for use as the main source of illumination for everyday purposes. 
         [0003]    While LEDs have improved over the years, there are still issues with their shelf-life and the need to change/replace a LED lighting source when it burns out. The change and replacement of a LED lighting source can become a costly project, especially when it involves street and highway lamps, bay lamps, lamps in a building, or large halls. Accordingly, there exists a need for a system which cures this issue and provide a more robust lighting system, allowing the continued use of an energy-saving LED lighting source.

         [0006]    In an embodiment, the microcontroller receives feedback from an element to determine whether the aforementioned element is functioning properly. If the element is not functioning properly, then the microcontroller sends a signal to switch from that element to a similar element connected in parallel. For example, a microcontroller is connected to the output of the drivers. If the microcontroller receives an inappropriate signal (e.g., no signal or a wrong signal) from the driver  1 , then the microcontroller contacts the input selector to switch from using the driver  1  to driver  2 . 
         [0007]    In an embodiment, the microcontroller maintains an internal clock on elements of the circuit. When the microcontroller identifies that a time-based expiration or usage-based expiration of an element is reached, the microcontroller indicates to the circuit system to switch from using that element to using a similar element connected in parallel. For example, if driver  1  has been used for 1 year, then the microcontroller—having a clock showing the driver  1  has reached its time-based expiration—sends a signal to the input selector to switch from driver  1  to driver  2 . For example, if driver  1  has been used 1,000 times, then the microcontroller—having a counter showing the driver  1  has reached its usage-based expiration—sends a signal to the input selector to switch from driver  1  to driver  2 .

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
       [0081]    An embodiment of the present invention provides a LED lighting system (LLD). 
         [0082]    In an embodiment, an LED lighting system includes the following components: a driver (DRV) or a plurality of drivers (DRV from 2 to N), and at least one LED lighting source (LLS) from 1 to N (see, e.g.,  FIG. 29 ). In an embodiment, the LED lighting system compose of plurality of modules (each module is compose of one driver and one LED lighting source) see  FIG. 20  or can be a plurality of IPM from 2 to N, and a plurality of LED lighting source from 1 to N see  FIG. 30  or can be compose of plurality of similar LED lighting fixture see  FIG. 31 , and a MCC, IS, OS and LS and can be connected to an electrical power source (“PS”). The LED lighting system embodiment presented in  FIG. 31  is a more complex model. 
         [0083]    The LED lighting system offers the ability to custom tailor its longevity and the quality of the LED lighting system by equipping the LED lighting system with one or more spare LED lighting sources and two or more spare drivers, in which the said device can automatically replace the initial LED lighting source and/or the initial driver, respectively, when the said initial LED lighting source or driver become non-functional or inadequate for use. The spare parts of our invention LED lighting system can be use in two ways. First is to use the initial parts respective driver and the LED lighting source when will becomes non-functional or defective will be replace with spare parts available driver or LED lighting source what compose the LED lighting system. 
         [0084]    A second way can be to alternate the spare parts available during a well-defined period of time. The LED lighting system allows individual LED lighting source and driver to be used alternatively, and be alternative use at the choice of costumers time frame, to ensure that the individual LED lighting source and driver are maintained in a functional state and they do not lose their ability to function as they become stale with lack of use. Hence, period of time choose, by default, the LED lighting system causes the LED lighting source in use or the driver in use to be replaced and alternate by a spare LED lighting source or a spare driver, respectively. This will improve the overall quality of the light and the duration for which the light will be provided. 
         [0085]    Automatic means of effectuating the replacement can be either by firmware or by remote control with a human operator. Hence, this LED lighting system represents a dynamic apparatus that allows for self-repair and replacement of the LLS and/or driver and/or IPM and/or Module Source, respectively, obviating the need of manual replacement of a light source, such as a light bulb. 
         [0086]    For instance, the longevity of the LED lighting system can be custom-tailored to produce an illuminating device that can last 10 years, when the device has only one LED lighting source and it contains two drivers. Of the two drivers, one driver is initially selected for use, while the other one becomes a spare driver, which is not utilized until the initial driver becomes non-functional or defective. When the initial driver becomes non-functional or defective, the LED lighting system automatically self-repairs by replacing the initial driver with the spare driver from plurality spare of drivers. As each driver has a shelf-life of approximately 5 years, the LED lighting system including at least two drivers can have longevity of approximately 10 years. 
         [0087]    In embodiments of the present invention, a driver (DRV) can be an inverter. A driver can also be another type of electrical component(s) that satisfy the input/output requirements of that component. 
         [0088]    In situations where longevity of 20 years is desired, the LED lighting system would be equipped with two LED lighting source and four drivers. Only one LED lighting source and one driver are functional at one time within the scope of the electric circuit of a functional LED lighting system. The said device establishes an initial electric circuit by selecting an initial LED lighting source, out of the two available LED lighting sources, and an initial driver, out of the four available drivers. The LED lighting source not selected becomes a spare LED lighting source, while the remainder three drivers, after the selection of the initial driver, become spare driver. The spare LED lighting source and spare driver are not utilized while the initial counterparts are in use. Under this scenario, two driver will be used during the lifespan of one LED lighting source. A such, during the approximate time frame of five years, the device will self-repair to replace the driver with one of the spare driver, while during the approximate life span of ten years, the said device will self-repair to replace the initial LED lighting source with the spare LED lighting source(s), and it will replace one by one the remainder of the spare driver, approximately every five years. 
         [0089]    By analogy, the longevity of the LED lighting system, which is the subject of the instant invention, can be enhanced to produce a source of illumination that does not require the manual change of a light bulb for 30 years, 40 years, 50 years, and even more, depending on necessity for the respective longevity. 
         [0090]    Longevity for any amount of time can be actually custom-tailored, however, in the scope of brevity and clarity, the examples used take into account that the LED lighting source can last for approximatively 10 years, while the driver can last for approximatively 5 years. As such, for every extra decade, beyond the 20 years of longevity in the example presented above, the LED lighting system will equipped with 1 (one) additional spare LED lighting source, and 2 (two) additional drivers. This way, by extrapolation, a LED lighting system with a desired longevity approximate of 30 years will consist of 3 (three) LED lighting source and 6 (driver; a desired longevity approximate of 40 years will imply the use of 4 (four) LED lighting source and 8 (eight) drivers; a desired longevity approximate of 50 years will imply the use of 5 (five) LED lighting sources and 10 (ten) drivers; and so on, adding one LED lighting source and two drivers for each additional decade of desired longevity. 
         [0091]    Additionally, the number of spare LED lighting sources and driver can vary for each of the examples above. As such, a LED lighting system with a shelf-life of 10 years can be equipped with more than one LED lighting source, so that it has one, two, or more spare LED lighting sources, and more than two drivers, so that it has two, three, or more spare drivers. 
         [0092]    The ability of the LED lighting system or apparatus to self-repair stems from the activity of the controller, or microcontroller MCC, and the role it plays in ensuring that the said device is functional. 
         [0093]    The present LED lighting system comprises mainly of the following: a plurality of LED lighting sources, with their respective heat sink, a plurality of drivers, and the input selector, output selector, and light sensor and MCC. The LED lighting sources, with their respective heat sink, are connected to the IPM, which in turn is connected to a power source to establish an electric circuit. More precisely, the power source, the driver, and the LED lighting source are linked together in a chain configuration as follows: power source, input selector, driver, output selector, LED lighting source and the light sensor. In an embodiment, the microcontroller is connected to input selector, output selector and light sensor. 
         [0094]    When this electric circuit is functional, the LED lighting system provides a source of illumination, which can be efficient and reliable for more than 10 years, depending on the number of drivers and LED lighting sources implemented in the device. 
         [0095]    For the scope of the instant invention, the IPM consists of different parts as follows: 1) an input selector IS, 2) a plurality of drivers DRV, 3) an output selector OS, 4) a micro controller MCC, and 5) communication interfaces COM. The power source PS is connected to the IPM via the input selector IS, while the LED lighting source is connected to the IPM via OS. The lighting sensor LS is connected to the LED lighting source and is connected to MCC. 
         [0096]    The DRV are within the IPM, the DRV are connected in parallel to each other, and at one end they are connected to the IS, while at the other end, they are connected to the OS. 
         [0097]    In an embodiment of a LED lighting system, the MCC effectuates a number of assessments of the voltage, at key intervals and locations along the said electric circuit, to determine where the voltage is adequate for the type of the load LED lighting source utilized, and whether there are any breaks in the current within the said electric circuit. Depending where along the electric circuit the break is diagnosed, the MCC can communicate with the different modules of the IPM and can instruct them to execute a specific function, such as either to replace the power source, or the DRV, or the LED lighting source. 
         [0098]    In an embodiment of the invention, the MCC communicates with the other modules of the IPM directly. Hence, to obtain status information as to the quality of the current coming from power source, the adequacy of the current coming out of the IS, DRV, and the adequacy of the OS of the LED lighting source, the MCC communicates with the IS, the DRV, the OS and a LS mounted on the LED lighting source. From the connection of the power source to the IS, to the MCC measures the Input Voltage (Vin). Additionally, after an DRV is connected to a power source through IS, the MCC measures the Output Voltage (Vout) OS to determine whether the adequate voltage transformation took place and the appropriate/correct voltage level is transmitted to the LED lighting source. When the measurements of Vin and Vout are acceptable, the MCC commands the OS and permits the voltage to pass through to the LED lighting source by selecting one of the available LED lighting source. 
         [0099]    The measurement of Vin permits the MCC to determine whether there is adequate voltage level coming from the power source, while the measurement of Vout permits the MCC to determine whether the adequate voltage transformation took place and the appropriate/correct voltage level is transmitted to the LED lighting source. When the measurements of Vin and Vout are acceptable, the MCC commands the OS and permits the voltage to pass through to the LED lighting source by selecting one of the available LED lighting source. 
         [0100]    For instance, if a break in the circuit is detected between the power source and the IS, the MCC can directly instruct the IS to connect to a different power source or to fix the problem; if the break in the circuit is detected between the driver DRV and the OS, as long as no break between the power source and the IS is diagnosed, the microcontroller MCC instructs the input selector IS to connect to a different DRV from plurality of the drivers DRV ; and, if the LED lighting source LED lighting source fails to illuminate, the microcontroller MCC will instruct the output selector OS to connect to a different LED lighting source from plurality of the LED lighting source. 
         [0101]    For instance, if the microcontroller MCC receives feedback from the LED lighting source and LS that the light level emitted is not adequate, it will deem the LED lighting source defective and will command the OS to disconnect from the said LED lighting source, it will evaluate the Vout level of the DRV in current use, and if the Vout is adequate, it will command the OS to connect the DRV to the next available spare LED lighting source. 
         [0102]    The microcontroller MCC communicates with the IS, the DRV, the OS, and the LS. From the connection of the power source and the IS, the MCC measures the input voltage (Vin), which is the voltage coming from the power source into the IS. This measurement permits the microcontroller MCC to determine whether it is necessary to switch to a new power source or to fix the problem to existing one, or to allow the IS to connect to the driver DRV. 
         [0103]    The measurement of Vin permits the MCC to determine whether there is adequate current coming from the power source, while the measurement of Vout permits the MCC to determine whether the adequate current transformation took place and the appropriate/adequate voltage is transmitted to the LED lighting source. When the measurements of Vin and Vout are acceptable, the MCC instructs the OS to connect to the LED lighting source, by selecting one of the available out of the said plurality of LED lighting source. This way an initial electric circuit pathway is established. 
         [0104]    In an embodiment, the microcontroller MCC communicates with the LED lighting source via a source-sensor combination, such as, but not limited to: LED-photodiode, LED-LASCR, a LED and phototransistor. The microcontroller MCC receives feedback from the LS whether there is adequate light emitted from the initially selected LED lighting source. 
         [0105]    In an embodiment, when the MCC receives feedback from the LS that the light emitted is not adequate or the LED lighting source is non-functional, the MCC communicates with the OS and it instructs the said OS to disconnect the said LED lighting source, evaluate the Vout level, and instruct the OS to switch to the next available LED lighting source out of the plurality of the LED lighting source. 
         [0106]    Concerning the selection of a different DRV, when the voltage measurement of Vout indicates that there is no current coming out of the DRV or the measurement of the Vout is inadequate, the MCC receives the feedback that the DRV is defective, and instructs the IS to disengage the defective DRV and switch to the next available DRV out of the plurality of the DRV that are connected in parallel. When a new DRV is activated, a new pathway is established between the power source, the IS, the new DRV, the OS, and a LED lighting source. 
         [0107]    The MCC can reads those voltages using 2 methods:
       a. Galvanic Insulated used Linear optocouplers.   b. Non-galvanic insulation used a simply divider made by resistors       
 
         [0110]    The input voltage Vin is converted into the light by a photodiode. The light is transformed back in a scaled voltage that can be read by the MCC through analog bus M- 1 . 
         [0111]    Using optocoupler ensure the voltage transformation and a very high insulation between inputs and outputs. 
         [0112]    In an embodiment of this invention, the IS may can consist of either SSR components (solid state relays) or ER components (electromechanical relay). The advantage of using SSRs is fast communication, no moving parts, which implies a long life and high reliability, and it occupies very little space,. The disadvantage is that with SSRs there is less galvanic insulation. 
         [0113]    By comparison, the advantage of an ER is the galvanic insulation, yet, it is less reliable than a SSR and it is more bulky, occupying more space. [00065] The Communication Interfaces COM may consist of one or more of the following components, depending on the desired purpose: 1) Local Display, 2) Local Keypad, 3) Local Port for service, 4) WI-FI or Bluetooth Selector port, 5) Ethernet and internet, 6) GSM, 7) Radio Communication RI, and/or all other method or combinations of communications possible.

The microcontroller  38  communicates with the input selector  35 , the drivers  361 , the output selector  37  and a light sensor  48  and the LED lighting source  401 . From the connection of the power source  10  to the input selector  35 , to the microcontroller  38  measures the Input Voltage (Vin). Additionally, after the driver  361  is connected to a power source  10  through selector  35 , the microcontroller  38  measures the Output Voltage (Vout) output selector  37  to determine whether the adequate voltage transformation took place and the appropriate/correct voltage level is transmitted to the LED lighting source  401 . In this situation, the measurements of Vin and Vout are acceptable, the microcontroller  38  commands to the output selector  37  and permits the voltage to pass through to the LED lighting source  401 , e.g., in  FIG. 6 . The measurement of Vin permits the microcontroller  38  to determine whether there is adequate voltage level coming from the power source  10 , while the measurement of Vout permits the microcontroller  38  to determine whether the adequate voltage transformation took place and the appropriate/correct voltage level is transmitted to the LED lighting source  401 . When the measurements of Vin and Vout are acceptable, the microcontroller  38  commands the output selector  37  and permits the voltage to pass through to the LED lighting source  401 , creating a pathway PPW  1 : PS  10 &gt;IS  35 &gt;DRV  361 &gt;OS  37 &gt;LED lighting source  401

For example, ambient light  1400  enters the light sensor system  1401 , having a light sensor  1403  and a transformer to transform the light into voltage  1404 , and output to the microcontroller  1402 . For example, this system can include a photo-transistor that converts the light into a voltage. The microcontroller can effect an analog-to-digital conversion (ADC). 
         [0149]      FIG. 7C  shows an example light sensor system. For example, ambient light  1420  enters the light sensor system  1421 , having a light sensor  1423  and serial data  1424 , and output to the microcontroller via a bus  1422 . For example, the light sensor system  1421  includes a detection element, e.g., a photo-transistor, and an ADC module that performs the analog to digital conversion. For example an OPT 3001  light sensor is used. The microcontroller can use a serial digital bus that reads the digital value from the OPT 3001 . The OPT 3001  is a chip comprised of two parts: one optical to collect the ambient light and one to convert the light level into a digital value. 
         [0150]      FIG. 7D  shows an example light sensor system. For example, the voltage input  1410  passes through resistor  1412  to light sensor  1415 . The voltage In_V  1414  passes through the resistor  1413  to the microcontroller. The system is grounded  1416 . For example, the light level is converted into a voltage signal that is “read” by the microcontroller using a voltage analog input, and converted internally into a digital value using software processes in the microcontroller. 
         [0151]      FIG. 7E  shows an example light sensor system. For example, the voltage  1430  travels through the light sensor  1431  to the bus connected to the microcontroller  1432 . In this example, the OPT 3001  chip is shown. Other components can be used instead of the OPT 3001  chip, which is being used for example purposes here to explain an embodiment of the present invention.

The LS  48  of the LED lighting system  20  is connected to MMC  3999 . 
         [0250]    In an embodiment, communication between a respective MCC ( 381 , 382 , . . . ,  38 N) and master microcontroller MMC  3999  is effected using a respective COM ( 391 , 392 , . . . ,  39 N). 
         [0251]      FIG. 32  shows an example microcontroller. For example, the input voltages  1600  enter the system to the respective chips  1602 ,  1603 ,  1604 , (e.g., S 1 , S 2 , S 3  power switches) which is outputted as Voltage  1605 ,  1606 ,  1607 . Control circuits  1601  are connected to the system, allowing for the controlling of the input selector by the MCC  1608 , as one example. 
         [0252]      FIG. 33  shows an example input selector system. For example, the voltage input  1500  passes through the input selector  1501  having switches S 1 , S 2 , S 3 , which output the voltage  1502 . The input selector control is effected by the microcontroller  1503 . 
         [0253]      FIG. 34  shows an example inverter power module system. For example, the power source  1900  sends a voltage signal through the inverter power module IPM  1901 , and outputs to light emitters  1902 ,  1903 ,  1904 , which then is read by a light sensor(s)  1905 . The light sensor  1905  sends information to the microcontroller  1910  which is connected to the input selector  1906 . In the IPM, inverters  1907 ,  1908 ,  1909  are set up in parallel from the input selector  1906 . For example, the power source  1900  could also be a power network grid or other source of a voltage signal. For example the light emitters can be a neon tube. For example, the inverter(s) can be a neon tube inverter(s). The switching policies can be time-based switching between inverters, or LES switching based on the lighting level measured by the light sensor. The IPM can work independently, or one can associate a remote with the IPM to work it dependently. In  FIG. 34 , a service port is shows for updating the firmware or extracting data for analyzing the inverter power module status. 
         [0254]    In  FIG. 35 , an example microcontroller is shown in block  1800  and circuit  1700  forms. In an embodiment, the role of the microcontroller can be to administrate the inverter power module. For example, the microcontroller can switch ON or OFF the LLS 1  and LLS 2  based on at least one of: time based (e.g., one unit period such as 1 day, to work first LLS and then the next unit period work the second LLS, and so on); and light level (e.g., the light sensor indicates via a signal to the microcontroller that the light level is a certain level and whether that is appropriate or not). The microcontroller can exchange data with remote external devices and/or with the service PC through the USB service port. The microcontroller can store time stamped events, can update the firmware through the service port, and/or can control the inverter output voltage or shut down the inverters. 
         [0255]    In  FIG. 36 , an example digital data bus convertor diagram is shown. For example the COM bus from the microcontroller  2001  inputs to a resistor  2002 , and then through a bus  2003  through  2005  to an Ethernet connection. For example, this can serve as an electrical interface from, e.g., RS485 to USART. 
         [0256]    Note: more components can be duplicated as spare parts in composition of the LED lighting system. In this Description, drivers and LED light sources are shown in redundancy and how they work in the system The other system parts can be implemented similarly in their respective functions, and controlled by the microcontroller. 
         [0257]    In embodiments, multiple LLS (minimum 1 and maximum N, where N is an integer greater than one) are connected to the IPM in such a way that only one LLS operates at one time, and regardless which LLS is used/selected, the individual performance of any activated LLS will be of the same quality in terms of luminosity, intensity, and color and all other technical aspects. 
         [0258]    In embodiments, the LLS can be switched via a MCC. The MCC is capable of switching the electric output OS from one LLS to the next one LLS or a different LLS connected to an OS. The command to switch to the next LLS can be accomplished automatically, when the LED lighting sensor LS indicated that the LLS in use is no longer functional/adequate, or it can be accomplished voluntarily, when a human operator notices a change in the quality of the light and wishes to switch to the next available LLS. 
         [0259]    In embodiments, the microcontroller MCC can work independently, in accordance with the firmware, or it can execute orders received from a remote control, operated by a human operator wire or wirelessly, by using Wi-Fi signal, Bluetooth signal, Ethernet, or GSM or Internet, radio or other method. 
         [0260]    In embodiments, the microcontroller MCC communicates with a wireless device to indicate whether the DRV needs to be replaced and switched to the next available DRV or respective whether the LLS needs to be replaced and switched to the next available LLS. 
         [0261]    In embodiments, the microcontroller MCC declares the assembly status through a wireless device to indicate if there are defective components that need to be replaced. Moreover, it is able to find an alternative way to supply the lighting device only using the available resources. 
         [0262]    In embodiments, the LED Lighting Device or LED lighting system provides components which can be used to develop the most advance intelligent lighting building management system, and can be the primary or fundamental cells to develop the most advance intelligent lighting city management system, and all the other smart lighting city applications, including traffic lights, and can be the basic cells to develop the most advance intelligent lighting of internet of thinks management system for different lighting applications and automatization, using dimming inverter/drivers and to reduce the cost or maintenance. Embodiments of the present invention provide for a remote switch of the DRV,IPMs or the LLSs of the LED lighting system, thus eliminating the cumbersome procedures for accessing remote places to change the lighting source. Additionally, the energy cost is much reduced due to the use of LLS. An advantage of this would be the decrease of cost and the continuous functionality and the decrease of cost of maintenance. Also, as the use of the spare LLSs and DRV causes the spare LLS and DRV to alternate, respectively, between spare parts, a better quality of light is maintained for a longer amount of time, which is an improvement of any LED lighting system in existence at this time. In some circumstances, the quality of the light diminishes 6% to 12% a year. The quality of lighting of the LED lighting system according to the present invention allows for a decrease of 50% to 90% less than all the other LED products existent at this time in market.
