Abstract: A method and system for controlling illumination according to eye safety standards. The method includes a processor retrieving from a memory of an illumination module, device information indicative of properties of the illumination module. The device information includes a plurality of parameters of an illumination element of the illumination module, and a maximum constant for the illumination element. The maximum constant is associated with a desired eye safety standard and is also indicative of a relationship between at least two parameters of the illumination element. The method further includes receiving, from a user, a desired parameter value for one of the parameters of the plurality of parameters. The processor determines a test constant from the desired parameter value, and the processor compares the test constant and maximum constant to determine if the desired parameter value is an acceptable value.
