    摘要: The present invention provides a system and method for controlling one or more light-emitting elements which are driven by forward currents to generate mixed light for use, for example, through a luminaire. The system has one or more light sensors for acquiring feedback optical sensor data and a user interface for providing reference data representative of a desired mixed light. The system also has a controller for transforming either the sensor data or the reference data into the coordinate space of the other and to determine a difference between the sensor and the reference data in that coordinate space. The controller is configured to adjust the forward currents during operating conditions so that the sensor data matches the setpoint data. The present invention also provides a system and method that can at least partially compensate certain temperature induced effects when transforming the optical sensor or the reference data.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for providing combined time-varying light comprising light from one or more light sources (132, 134, 136), and determining aspects of light from one or more light sources based on measurements of the combined light. Light sources of one or more colours can be controlled to provide time-varying combined light outputs (310, 360) using different switching sequences for different light sources, for example according to PWM, PCM, or other modulation methods. By appropriately configuring the timing of the switching sequences, the combined light output can be made to exhibit a plurality of lighting combinations. A broadband optical sensor (148) can be configured to measure (145) some or all of the plurality of lighting combinations, and the measurements used to determine light output measurements of portions of the combined light, and optionally of ambient light, by appropriate processing (150) of the measurements.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for providing optical emission feedback control for an illumination system comprising mixed light including light from a first light source (135) and a second light source (140). Each light source is driven by a drive current configured using a control and/or modification signal associated with that light source. The control signal in turn can be configured using a modification signal associated with the light source. An optical signal indicative of the mixed light is generated, for example using an optical sensor (150), and the optical signal is processed based on a reference signal to provide measurements indicative of light from each light source, which are used for feedback control of the illumination system. The reference signals can be generated locally or based on a corresponding control or modification signal. To provide measurements for a light source, processing (198) of the optical signal can comprise mixing (235) and compensation (255) operations based on control and/or modification signals associated with that light source.
