    摘要: An LED module (200) comprising: a first set of LEDs (D1) for emitting illumination to illuminate an environment, arranged within a first circuit path; a second set of one or more LEDs (D2) for emitting light, arranged within a second circuit path; both the first and second sets being powered by a portion of the power received via a same pair of input terminals, and the first circuit path being longer than the second circuit path; and filter circuitry (206, 208) arranged to filter a modulation in the power received via the terminals, the filtering comprising allowing a component of the modulation at a predetermined modulation frequency to be passed only to the second set of LEDs (D2) and not the first set (D1), thereby causing a corresponding signal to be embedded in the light emitted by the second set but not in the illumination emitted by the first set.

    摘要: A light source driving method is applied to a light source driving module electrically connected to a light source and a controller. The light source driving module includes a frequency setting module, a driving circuit, and a conversion module. The frequency setting module generates a frequency setting signal according to a switching signal. The driving circuit generates a light source driving signal after receiving the switching signal and a current control signal. The conversion module selectively generates a driving current flowing through the light source in response to the light source driving signal. The driving current increases continuously during a rising duration, and the light source driving signal has a first operating frequency during the rising period. The driving current remains unchanged during a stable duration, and the light source driving signal has a second operating frequency during the stable period.

    摘要: A lighting device, such as a two-wire lighting control device, may include a controllably conductive device and a control circuit. The controllably conductive device may supply an AC line voltage to a load in response to a dive signal such that the controllable conductive device is non-conductive for a first duration of time and conductive for a second duration of time within a half-cycle of the AC line voltage. The control circuit may receive a signal from the controllably conductive device that represents a voltage developed across the controllable conductive device during the first duration of time. The control circuit may generate a sine-wave-shaped signal that complements the voltage developed across the controllably conductive device during the second duration of time. The control circuit may also filter the signal from the controllably conductive device during the first duration of time and the sine-wave-shaped signal during the second duration of time.
