    Abstract: The present invention provides an illumination apparatus comprising one or more first light-emitting elements and one or more second light-emitting elements and a control system configured to control the operation of the one or more first and one or more second light-emitting elements. As the illumination apparatus according to the present invention is configured to generate utility illumination using two different and substantially monochromatic light-emitting element light sources, the light pollution resulting from the utility illumination generated by the illumination apparatus is reduced, when compared to a polychromatic light source.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a ripple compensation method and apparatus that provides a means to compensate for drive current ripple-induced brightness fluctuations in an LEE based illumination system. The ripple compensation apparatus comprises a ripple evaluation module which is configured to evaluate a ripple compensation factor based on an evaluated fluctuation of the drive current. The evaluation of the fluctuation of the drive current can be determined based on information collected during operation of the LEE based illumination system and/or based on predetermined operational characteristics of the LEE based illumination. A control system comprises the ripple evaluation module and is operatively coupled to the one or more light-emitting elements, wherein the control system is configured to determine and provide control signals for operation of the one or more light-emitting elements based on the ripple compensation factor.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a luminaire system capable of generating light of a desired chromaticity and luminous flux output during continuous operation with varying ambient operating temperature. The luminaire system can be further capable of maintaining a desired correlated colour temperature during dimming of the luminaire. The luminaire system comprises one or more arrays of light-emitting elements for generating light with a current driver system coupled thereto for selectively supplying electrical drive current to each of the arrays, wherein the current driver system is responsive to drive signals received from a controller. The luminaire system further comprises an optical sensor system for generating optical signals representative of chromaticity and luminous flux output of the light. A heat sensing system is operatively coupled to the one or more arrays for generating signals representative of the junction temperatures of arrays of light-emitting elements during operation. The luminaire system further comprises a controller that is operatively connected to the current driver system, the optical sensor system and the heat sensing system for receiving the signals generated by each of these systems and is configured to generate one or more drive signals for transmission to the current driver system in response to the optical signals and thermal signals received from the optical system and the heat sensing system, respectively, thereby enabling a desired level of control of the output light.
