    Abstract: A system and appertaining method calibrate a color LED light unit comprising at least first-, second-, and third-color LEDs, comprising: a) defining a target color on a color map to calibrate; b) selecting initial calibration coefficients associated with the target color; c) storing the initial or updated calibration coefficients in a non-volatile memory of the light unit; d) controlling the light unit to drive the LEDs to attempt to emit the target color, producing an attempted color, utilizing the calibration coefficients; e) measuring the attempted color to determine if it matches the target color within a predefined tolerance; f) if the attempted color matches the target color, then terminating the method; g) if the attempted color does not match the target color, then performing the following; h) selecting a color component; i) adapting at least one calibration coefficient associated with the selected color component; and j) performing (c)-(i) again.

    Abstract: A flexible LED lighting module includes a flexible housing and flexible PCB to which LED units are mounted. An encapsulant fills a channel of the flexible housing and has a same or similar optical refractive index value as is used in the LED unit to hold phosphorous particles used for coloring of the LED. Use of the encapsulant changes the color of the light ultimately emitted from the flexible LED lighting module, and this factor is corrected for in calibration processes associated with the flexible LED lighting module.

    Abstract: A lighting unit is provided. The lighting unit includes a first circuit board, a second circuit board, a light array mounted on the first circuit board, and a controller mounted on the first circuit board and coupled to the light array. The light unit further includes a first portion of an isolated power supply system mounted on the first circuit board and coupled to the controller and a second portion of the isolated power supply system mounted on the second circuit board. The first portion includes a first half magnetic core and a first set of windings and the second portion includes a second half magnetic core and a second set of windings. The first circuit board is coupled to the second circuit board so that a magnetic flux generated in the first half magnetic core is passed to the second half magnetic core.

    Abstract: A method and system may include commanding, by a processor, a lighting system to generate a desired melanopic effect in accordance with a spectral weighting mode. To determine, by the processor, the spectral weighting mode based on an algorithm that compares a part of a spectrum for an amount of melanopic lumen to a melanopic sensitivity curve to generate a result comprising a melanopic ratio. In response to the result comprising the melanopic ratio, to by determine by the processor a visual brightness by calculations using an algorithmic solution based on the melanopic ratio multiplied by an amount of color temperature generating the visual brightness in accordance with the spectral weighting mode of the desired melanopic effect.

    Abstract: A user interface display may have a display and may have a backlight that lights the display. The display may implement pixels to generate colors and images. The display may be backlit. The backlight may use pixels having emitters to generate different color backlighting. In various instances, the display or the backlight or both may include a deep blue emitter. The blue emitter may be used in combination with red and green pixels elements to generate different colors. By implementing deep blue emitters rather than conventional blue (e.g., cyan) emitters, the effects of cyan light on a viewer's circadian rhythm may be limited or eliminated. Moreover, by implementing deep blue emitters, the effects of cyan light on a viewer's circadian rhythm may be varied, while the colors and images are reproduced for viewing without introducing significant color distortion.
