Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for optical feedback control for an illumination device, wherein the control signal for each arra y of one or more light-emitting elements corresponding to a particular colour, is independently configured using a modification signal whose frequency is different for each colour. Electronic filters whose center frequencies are substantially equal to the modification signal frequencies of the drive currents for the light-emitting elements are used to discriminate between th e radiant flux corresponding to each of the different colours of light-emittin g elements, from a sample of the mixed radiant flux output collected by one or more optical sensors. The output of an individual electronic filter is substantially directly proportional to the radiant flux output of the light- emitting elements of the associated colour, which together with the desired luminous flux and chromaticity of the output light, the controller can use t o adjust the control signals.

Abstract: The present invention provides a light unit that is interchangeable within a lighting device. The light unit comprises a carrier to which one or more light-emitting elements are connected. A memory device is further operatively coupled to the carrier, wherein the memory device includes information representative of the operational characteristics of the one or more light-emitting elements associated with the carrier. Upon the operative coupling of the light unit with a lighting device, a control system associated with the lighting device can access the memory device to obtain operational characteristics of the one or more light-emitting elements associated with the carrier. In this manner, the operational characteristics of the light-emitting elements can be immediately available to the control system, without the need for calibration of the lighting device subsequent to the replacement or changing of the light unit with the lighting device.

Abstract: The light source comprises one or more first light-emitting elements for generating light having a first wavelength range and one or more second light-emitting elements for generating light having a second wavelength range. The first light-emitting elements and second light-emitting elements are responsive to separate control signals provided thereto. A control system receives a signal representative of the operating temperature from one or more sensing devices and determines first and second control signals based on the desired colour of light and the operating temperature. The light emitted by the first and second light-emitting elements as a result of the received first and second control signals can be blended to substantially obtain the desired colour of light. The desired colour of light generated can thus be substantially independent of junction temperature induced changes in the operating characteristics of the light-emitting elements.

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: Tristimulus colorimeter apparatus and methods of tristimulus colorimetry are described. The tristimulus colorimeter apparatus can be used for determining color of light by specifying a first, a second and a third tristimulus value for the light. The colorimeter apparatus may detect signals according to color matching functions having spectral responsivities matched by detectors of the colorimeters. The detected signals may be processed by one or more computations, such as matrix operations, to provide the tristimulus values of the color.
