Lighting systems and methods providing active glare control

A light fixture includes a dimmable light source that emits light downwardly, and a downward-looking rangefinder proximate and operatively coupled with the light source. When the rangefinder detects an object at a measured height that exceeds a first threshold, the light source dims according to the measured height. A light fixture that provides illumination with active glare control for a lighted area includes one or more first light sources that emit high-angle light, and one or more dimmable second light sources that emit low-angle light, into the lighted area. The system also includes a camera that captures images of the lighted area, and a controller that is (a) operable to identify one or more activity locations within the lighted area from the images, and (b) operatively coupled to dim one or more of the light sources that illuminate the one or more activity locations.
