An illumination device and a method controlling the same are provided. The illumination device produces a pulse width modulation signal to control an illumination light source of the illumination device. The illumination light source is used to illuminate an environment. A driver of the illumination device provides a current to the illumination light source so the illumination light source emits light and a light detecting element of the illumination device detects a first brightness in the environment when the pulse width modulation signal is at high potential. The driver stops providing the current to the illumination light source and the light detecting element detects a second brightness in the environment when the pulse width modulation signal is at low potential. Thus, through a single light detecting element, two different levels of brightness in the illuminated environment are detected.

A first lighting assembly receives a lighting profile that instructs the first lighting assembly to operate according to the lighting profile over a first period of time. The received lighting profile is implemented, including causing a light of the first lighting assembly to illuminate at a first intensity. An input acquired in proximity to the first lighting assembly and indicating activity in a region proximate the first lighting assembly is received. The received lighting profile is then deviated from, in response to the received input, by increasing the intensity of the light to illuminate at a second intensity for a predetermined period of time. A message is transmitted for receipt by the control center, the message including an indication of the increased light intensity and an identifier associated with the first lighting assembly.

An illuminator for a reflective display ( 10 ) incorporates a light guide ( 14 ) having substantially transparent front and rear planar surfaces which overlap the display's viewing surface when the surfaces are substantially parallel and adjacent to the viewing surface. A light source ( 16 ) emits light into the light guide. A plurality of light redirecting structures ( 30 ) is distributed on the light guide's rear surface. The structures are shaped to redirect through the light guide toward the viewing surface light rays which encounter the structures. Most light rays emitted into the light guide by the light source which do not encounter any of the structures are confined within the light guide by total internal reflection. Most light rays emitted into the light guide by the light source which encounter any of the structures are re directed through the light guide toward the viewing surface, substantially uniformly illuminating the display in a low ambient light environment.

Methods, systems, and apparatus for providing variable illumination

Номер: US20140028199A1
Автор: Brian Chemel
Принадлежит: Digital Lumens Inc

Digital Control Ready (DCR) is a two-way open standard for controlling and managing next-generation fixtures. A DCR-enabled lighting fixture responds to digital control signals from a separate digital light agent (DLA) instead of analog dimming signals, eliminating the need for digital-to-analog signal conditioning, fixture-to-fixture variations in response, and calibration specific to each fixture. In addition, a DCR-enabled lighting fixture may also report its power consumption, measured light output, measured color temperature, temperature, and/or other operating parameters to the DLA via the same bidirectional data link that carries the digital control signals to the fixture. The DLA processes these signals in a feedback loop to implement more precise lighting control. The DCR-enabled lighting fixture also transforms AC power to DC power and supplies (and measures) DC power to the DLA via a DCR interface. These features enable intelligent, networked DCR lighting systems operate with lower power (energy) consumption, greater flexibility, and simpler installation than other intelligent lighting networks.
