Patent ID: 8841859

Claim:
A lighting fixture to provide variable sensor-based lighting, the lighting fixture comprising: at least one sensor to provide sensor data representing at least one measurement of at least one parameter relating to an environment illuminated by the lighting fixture; a plurality of light emitting diode (LED) light bars to provide the variable sensor-based lighting at a plurality of light levels and/or a plurality of foot-candle patterns; and a power management module, operatively coupled to the at least one sensor and the plurality of LED light bars, to adjust the variable sensor-based lighting based at least in part on the sensor data provided by the at least one sensor; a memory, operatively coupled to the at least one sensor and/or to the power management module, to log at least some of the sensor data provided by the at least one sensor, wherein the at least one sensor is configured to measure the at least one parameter relating to the environment illuminated by the lighting fixture according to at least one rule; and a wired or wireless network interface, operably coupled to the power management module, to transmit at least some of the sensor data to at least one external source, wherein the at least one external source includes a management system configured to make predictive decisions based on past patterns of the sensor data, the wired or wireless network interface is further configured to receive indications of the predictive decisions made by the management system, and the power management module is configured to control the plurality of LED light bars so as to reduce overall energy consumption by the lighting fixture based at least in part on the received indications of the predictive decisions.
