Abstract:
Disclosed is a lighting fixture ( 200 ) with a separately controllable set of LED-based light sources ( 102 ) configurable to create both downlighting and wall-washing lighting effects. To create the desired wall-washing effects, the intensity and angle of light sources in the lighting fixture are adjusted to individually illuminate different portions of the wall of surface. One set of LED-based light sources positioned along the edge of the ceiling tile is configured to emit a low intensity light beam toward the upper portion of the wall surface adjacent the ceiling. Another set of LED-based light sources emits a higher intensity light beam toward an intermediate portion of the wall surface. Another set of LED-based light sources emits an even higher intensity light beam toward the bottom portion of the wall surface.

Claim (Index 13):
A method for providing wall-washing lighting effects, the method comprising the steps of:\n providing a lighting fixture comprising: (i) a plurality of lighting units each comprising a plurality of LED-based light sources, wherein a first subset of said plurality of lighting units are configured to emit a light beam oriented toward a vertical surface, and wherein a second subset of said plurality of lighting units are configured to emit a light beam oriented toward a horizontal surface, and further wherein at least some of said plurality lighting units are configured to be adjustable to emit a light beam oriented toward either said vertical surface or said horizontal surface; and (ii) a controller operably connected to said plurality of lighting units and configured to control the orientation of the light beam emitted by each of said adjustable lighting units based at least in part on a position of the lighting fixture relative to the vertical surface; receiving information indicating the position of the lighting fixture relative to the vertical surface; and adjusting the orientation or intensity of the light beam emitted by one or more of said adjustable lighting units based on said received information.
