August 22, 2005—The US Patent Office has awarded protection for Cyberlux Corporation’s “Apparatus and Methods for Providing an Emergency Lighting Augmentation System,” according to the company, an emerging leader in the field of solid-state semiconductor lighting.
The development of Cyberlux’s ReliaBright Emergency Lighting system (ELS) led to the patent filing, according to the company. The ReliaBright ELS is designed to retrofit as an augmentation to existing lighting system in commercial buildings, and it can be adapted for a variety of applications and uses.
The product includes a control module powered by a constant charge battery and monitored by a sensor. The sensor differentiates between “power-off at the wall switch” and “power-out in the building’s electrical service.” Light levels range from “moonlight” to “daylight” consistent with the needs of the space in which the ReliaBright ELS is installed.
The claims awarded by the US Patent Office address a lighting system capable of providing long-term solutions for emergency and interim lighting. Specifically, Cyberlux explains, these claims address the solid-state lighting elements and associated devices for providing emergency or temporal lighting mounted adjacent to the existing lighting system; the control circuit in electronic communication with solid-state lighting system including wireless communications; the power sensing technology for sensing power disruption in a main power supply that illuminates the lighting elements upon sensing electrochemical lighting system capable of providing prolonged illumination with the use of light emitting diodes (LEDs) as the illumination source.
