Abstract:
The present invention relates to a solid-state based light source, a corresponding circuitry and a method of emitting light, including one or more light source elements for generating light, a first sensor for receiving light emitted by the light source elements and ambient light and for generating a first sensor signal (S1) representing the received light, a second sensor for only receiving ambient light and for generating a second sensor signal (S2) representing the received ambient light. Moreover, the solid-state based light source comprises a control unit for receiving the first and the second sensor signals (S1, S2) and for generating control signals (Sc) for controlling the light source elements, based on the difference between the first and the second sensor signals (S1, S2), to compensate for the influence of the ambient light.

Abstract:
Proposed is a light sensor (1), comprising at least one wavelength selective photo-detector (10), a lens (20) and an aperture (30).The wavelength selective photo-detector allows detecting light within a predefined wavelength range falling on the sensor. The lens project light on the photo-detector and the aperture defines a field of view of the light sensor. The photo-detector (10), the lens (20), and the aperture (30) are arranged in a telecentric configuration. Advantageously, this allows light to impinge on the wavelength selective photo-detector within a predefined range of angles irrespective of the direction of the light incident on the aperture, thus removing the angle dependent response of the wavelength selective photo-detector.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for calibrating a spectroradiometer (1), comprising the following method steps: capture of light measurement data by the measurement of the radiation of at least one standard light source (4) using the spectroradiometer (1) that is to be calibrated; derivation of calibrated data from the light measurement data by the comparison of the captured light measurement data with known data of the standard light source (4); and calibration of the spectroradiometer (1) according to the calibration data. The aim of the invention is to provide a reliable and practical method for calibrating the spectroradiometer (1). In particular, the synchronism of spectroradiometers (1) situated in different locations (9, 10, 11) is to be produced simply and reliably. To achieve this aim, the validity, i.e. the usability, of the standard light source for the calibration is checked by a comparison of the light measurement data of the standard light source (4) with light measurement data of one or more additional standard light sources (4) of the same type, the validity of the standard light source (4) being established if the deviations of the light measurement data of the standard light sources (4) from one another lie below predefined limit values, and/or the standard light source (4) is measured using two or more standard spectroradiometers (1') of the same type or of different types, the validity of the standard light source (4) being established if the deviations of the light measurement data from one another, said data being captured using the different standard spectroradiometers (1'), lie below predefined limit values.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses an ambient light sensor and an adjusting method thereof, and an electronic product, relates to the field of sensor technologies, and enables output light intensities of the ambient light sensor to be consistent under ambient light with different color temperatures, thereby avoiding an output light intensity deviation generated when intensities of ambient light with different color temperatures are detected. The method for adjusting an ambient light sensor includes: acquiring a color temperature of light received by the ambient light sensor; and adjusting an output light intensity of the ambient light sensor according to the color temperature to enable output light intensities to be consistent when the ambient light sensor receives light with different color temperatures. The ambient light sensor includes: an acquiring device, configured to acquire a color temperature of light received by the ambient light sensor; and an adjuster, configured to adjust an output light intensity of the ambient light sensor according to the color temperature acquired by the acquiring device to enable output light intensities to be consistent when the ambient light sensor receives light with different color temperatures.
Abstract:
LED based illumination modules (100) are realized that are visually color matched to light sources not based on LEDs based on visually matched color spaces. A visually matched color space is employed to both instrumentally and visually match an LED based light source with a light source not based on LEDs. In one aspect, an LED based illumination module is realized to achieve a target color point in a visually matched color space within a predetermined tolerance. In another aspect, an LED based illumination module is realized to visually match a light source not based on LEDs. A target color point in the CIE 1931 XYZ color space is derived based at least in part on the spectrum of the visually matched LED based illumination module. LED based illumination modules visually matched to light sources not based on LEDs are realized based on the derived target color point.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a control system for controlling the light output of a LED luminaire comprising a single color LED group consisting of at least one LED. The control system comprises a spectral filter and a photodetector, which thus receives spectrally filtered light from the LED group. The photodetector generates a response signal which is applied to a control device. The control device controls the light output of said LED group at least partially on the basis of the response signal. The control system further includes an incidence angle limiting device arranged to limit the angle of incidence of the LED light received by said filter.
Abstract:
The illumination system has a plurality of light emitters (R, G, B) and a lightcollimator (1) for collimating light emitted by the light emitters. Light propagation in the light-collimator is based on total internal reflection (TIR) towards a light-exit window (4) of the light-collimator. At least one light sensor (8) for optical feedback is placed outside the light-collimator and is arranged to receive light emitted by the light emitters exclusively through reflection at the light-exit window of the light-collimator. Preferably, the light sensor is placed substantially coplanar with the light emitters. Preferably, a side wall (35) of the light-collimator is provided with a protruding portion (9) for guiding the light reflected at the light-exit window of the light-collimator towards the light sensor. Preferably, the illumination system is provided with a reflector (12). Preferably, the illumination system comprises a holographic diffuser (17). Accurate sensing of the color mixing of light emitted by the illumination system is obtained.
