Accent Lights with Junction Box Controller

Abstract

A system and method for an accent lighting system is provided. The system includes a plurality of underwater luminaires each having a plurality of light emitting diodes, and a junction box controller housing a plurality of electrical components for generating electrical signals for controlling the plurality of underwater luminaries. The junction box controller can be mounted to an electrical conduit and a plurality of cables can connect the plurality of underwater luminaires with the junction box controller. An underwater luminaire can include a heat sink and a flexible circuit board having a plurality of light emitting diodes mounted on the heat sink. The flexible circuit board transfers heat from the light emitting diodes to the heat sink. The underwater luminaire can also include a wiring harness for connecting the underwater luminaire to a cable.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An underwater illumination system, comprising:
 a junction box controller having a junction box and configured for installation at a pool or a spa location;   a plurality of underwater luminaires in electrical communication with the junction box controller, each of the plurality of underwater luminaires including a plurality of light-emitting diodes (LEDs);   a plurality of light-emitting diode (LED) driver circuits positioned in the junction box and generating electrical drive signals for driving the plurality of LEDs of the underwater luminaire; and   a controller in communication with the plurality of LED driver circuits and positioned in the junction box, the controller controlling operation of the plurality of LED driver circuits to thereby control light output by the plurality of underwater luminaires.
