Abstract: Disclosed are a method and apparatus for optical feedback control for a lighting unit (10) for generating light having a desired luminous flux and chromaticity. The control signals (110, 210) for the drive currents of each array of one or more light sources are independently configured using a suitable modification signal (111, 211) for each array. In this manner, upon detection of the output light of the arrays, which will have encoded therein a respective modification signal, a controller can be configured to separate each array's contribution based on the respective modification signal. The modification signal can be configured to modulate the pulse widths of drive currents supplied to each array.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for providing optical emission feedback control for an illumination system comprising mixed light including light from a first light source (135) and a second light source (140). Each light source is driven by a drive current configured using a control and/or modification signal associated with that light source. The control signal in turn can be configured using a modification signal associated with the light source. An optical signal indicative of the mixed light is generated, for example using an optical sensor (150), and the optical signal is processed based on a reference signal to provide measurements indicative of light from each light source, which are used for feedback control of the illumination system. The reference signals can be generated locally or based on a corresponding control or modification signal. To provide measurements for a light source, processing (198) of the optical signal can comprise mixing (235) and compensation (255) operations based on control and/or modification signals associated with that light source.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for controlling one or more light-emitting elements which are driven by forward currents to generate mixed light for use, for example, through a luminaire. The system has one or more light sensors for acquiring feedback optical sensor data and a user interface for providing reference data representative of a desired mixed light. The system also has a controller for transforming either the sensor data or the reference data into the coordinate space of the other and to determine a difference between the sensor and the reference data in that coordinate space. The controller is configured to adjust the forward currents during operating conditions so that the sensor data matches the setpoint data. The present invention also provides a system and method that can at least partially compensate certain temperature induced effects when transforming the optical sensor or the reference data.
