    摘要: A load control device is configured to generate a control signal having a desired magnitude for controlling a load regulation device adapted to control the power delivered to an electrical load. The load control device may comprise a control terminal arranged to provide the control signal to the load regulation device, a communication circuit for generating the control signal, and a control circuit configured to generate an output signal that is provided to the communication circuit. The communication circuit may be characterized by non-linear operation. The control circuit may adjust the magnitude of the output signal in response to the difference between the magnitude of the control signal and the desired magnitude to adjust the magnitude of the control signal towards the desired magnitude. The control circuit may also be configured to determine if an incompatible load regulation device is coupled to the load control device.

    摘要: The invention provides a lighting system (100) comprising a first light source (10), a second light source (20), and a control system (30), wherein: —the first light source (10) is configured to generate first light source light (11) with a controllable first radiant flux, wherein the first radiant flux is dimmable over a first dimming range; wherein the first light source light (11) has a first angular distribution relative to the lighting system (100); —the second light source (20) is configured to generate second light source light (21) with a controllable second radiant flux, wherein the second radiant flux is dimmable over a second dimming range; wherein the second light source light (21) has a second angular distribution relative to the lighting system (100), different from the first angular distribution; —the control system (30) is configured to control the first light source (10) and the second light source (20), wherein, in a controlling mode of the control system (30), the control system (30) is configured to control a value of one of the first radiant flux and the second radiant flux with a negative proportional dependence of a change in a value of the other of the first radiant flux and the second radiant flux over at least a respective part of the respective dimming range.

    摘要: A method of automatically programming a new load control device that replaces an old load control device takes advantage of a remote identification tag (e.g., an RFID tag) located in the vicinity of the old device. The remote identification tag stores an identifier that is representative of a location in which the old device is installed. The method includes the steps of: (1) storing a setting of an old device in a memory of a controller; (2) associating the setting with the identifier of the old device in the memory of the controller; (3) the new device retrieving the identifier from the remote identification tag after the new device is installed in the location of the old device; (4) the new device transmitting the identifier to the controller; and (5) the controller transmitting the setting of the old device to the new device in response to receiving the identifier.
