  • Patent number: 10009974
    Abstract: First and second LED channels of different color temperatures are connected to respective first and second FET drivers. A wall dimmer output is connected to a driver circuit and to circuitry which generates a variable DC voltage. A microcontroller is configured to employ a signal derived from the driver circuit output to generate changing PWM signals which are supplied along with the variable DC voltage to each of the first and second FET drivers to create variable mixed light color and brightness.

  • Patent number: 9596740
    Abstract: A plurality of LED light fixtures are mounted in a ceiling of an auditorium and a power control system is positioned in an area separate from a seating area of the auditorium for supplying power to the LED light fixtures. Each LED light fixture comprises an extrusion carrying one or more ambience light LED modules for providing ambient light and one or more high intensity LED modules for providing full level lighting. The power control system is configured to collectively switch the ambience light LED modules “on” and “off” and to separately and collectively switch the high intensity LED modules “on” and “off” to thereby provide either low level ambient light or high intensity full level lighting to the auditorium.
