    摘要: A lighting control device for controlling the light intensity level of at least one lamp is disclosed. The lighting control device includes a microcontroller and a user-actuatable switch controller that is operatively coupled to the microcontroller. The microcontroller causes the light intensity level of the lamp to fade at a first fade rate when the switch controller is actuated. If the microcontroller determines that the switch controller has been actuated for at least a predefined actuator hold time, the microcontroller causes the light intensity level of the lamp to fade at a second fade rate for a predefined long fade time. After the long fade time elapses, the microcontroller causes the light intensity level of the lamp to fade to off at a third fade. The first fade rate is based on a predefined fade-off time that represents a time allotted for fading the light intensity level of the lamp from its initial light intensity level to off. To prevent the light intensity level from fading to off before the actuation time elapses, the fade off time may be defined to be longer than the actuation time. The second fade rate may be slower than the first fade rate and have an exponential fade profile. The third fade rate may be a predefined rate at which the microcontroller is programmed to cause the light intensity level to fade from full on to full off. The third fade rate may be quicker than the second fade rate.

    摘要: A light control circuit of an LED lamp body comprises a power circuit, a pulse signal generator, a sound wave sensor circuit, a trigger driving circuit, and an LED light emitting circuit. When a user touches the lamp body, the pulse signal generator will generate a signal to the trigger driving circuit to bias and thus the driving transistor is conducted to light up the LEDs. Similarly, when a user emits a sound, the sound will be pickup by the sound pickup circuit by the sound wave sensor circuit as a sound signal. Then the sound signal is amplified so as to conduct the trigger driving circuit and the pulse signal generator. When the user is near the lamp body, the LEDs will light up continuously. If nobody is near the lamp body through a delay time the driving transistor will interrupt and thus LEDs distinguish.

    摘要: A three-way toggle dimmer circuit controls the brightness of a lamp by independent operation of two light dimmer switches with each dimmer switch having its own electronic light dimmer circuit. Each of the light dimmer switches is arcuately actuated with one end of the vertical movement changing the electrical interconnection between the light dimmer switches. The other end of the vertical movement changes the internal electrical characteristics within the light dimmer circuit itself. The electronics of the light dimmer circuits are controlled by the position of a toggle arm through a linear slide potentiometer including both a variable slide resistor and a miniature internal switch.

    摘要: A time-delayed, variable light intensity control is configured to operate in a conventional mode in which the illumination level of incandescent lights is adjusted in accordance with rotation of the dimmer knob and in automatic dimming modes in which the illumination level is further dimmed over a predetermined period of time, to either a low level of illumination suitable for use as a night light, or until extinguished. The light intensity control controls the illumination levels as well as the time delay during automatic dimming by varying the phase angle at which a power triac is triggered. The phase angle is controlled by the timing of the generation of a first pulse in accordance with the rotation of the dimmer knob and the generation of a fixed period pulse which occurs one half cycle later. The control system is useful for other AC control systems.

    摘要: The invention is a handrail illumination system that will provide uniform distribution of illumination on stairways, walkways and the like that is completely integrated within a handrail and includes a control circuit which energizes light assemblies automatically when any point on the surface of a wood handrail senses anatomical contact or anatomical proximity thereby eliminating the necessity of locating and actuating manually operated wall switches. The anatomical contact or proximity switch will remain in the on position for the duration of anatomical contact or proximity with a time delay switching the lamps to off position when anatomical contact or proximity terminates. The illuminating lamps and associated structure are incorporated into housings built into the handrail and the control circuit structure is likewise incorporated into a housing incorporated into the handrail. The anatomical contact or proximity sensing switch and related circuit provides for a manual adjustment of the time delay for switching lamps off when anatomical contact or proximity is terminated with the handrail illumiantion system also including self-adjustment in response to variations in ambient conditions for maintaining appropriate operating conditions of the system. The handrail includes a horizontal portion when used with a stairway to extend over the landings for anatomically switching the lamps on prior to engaging the steps in a stairway. The handrail includes a gripping arrangement in which the side panels enable engagement by the thumb and fingers throughout the length thereof with the control circuit providing a safe and dependable illumination system.

    摘要: A remotely controllable power control system wherein the power supplied to a load may be varied locally via an actuator, positionable through a continuous range, on a wall control or from a remote location using a remote control device not electrically wired to the wall control. The load control system includes a transmitter and a wall control/receiver, each having a control actuator for adjusting the power supplied to the load. Control can be obtained by either the transmitter or the wall control/receiver immediately upon manipulation of either control actuator, with the adjustment in power level occurring substantially instantaneously. Communication between the transmitter and the wall control/receiver is by digitally encoded infrared signal.

    摘要: An electronic dimming apparatus includes a semiconductor power controller which couples a lamp to an alternating current source and variably controls the average power supplied to the lamp by adjusting the relative proportion of each half-cycle in which the power controller is in a conductive condition. The semiconductor power controller is controlled by the output of a transition controller which in turn is connected to a triggering circuit. The triggering circuit is responsive to a first input condition corresponding to desired average power and also responsive to the zero-crossing of the alternating current waveform. The transition controller gradually changes the condition state of the semiconductor power controller between non-conduction and conduction and controls the voltage across the lamp load to maintain a stable rate of voltage change despite lamp impedance variations, thus reducing electromagnetic interference.
