  • Publication number: 20240011611
    Abstract: A lighting device comprising at least three LED chains, each LED chain including a plurality of LED light sources separated from each other along the LED chain, wherein the LED light sources of each LED chain are electrically connected to a common drive signal line, wherein the light sources of the at least three LED chains are substantially evenly and non-symmetrically distributed over a light area, and a controller configured to apply a different drive signal to each drive signal line, wherein each drive signal is time varying so as to cause a time variation of at least one property of light emitted from the LED light sources. By applying different, and dynamically changing drive signals to the three groups, lighting effects resembling those occurring in nature can be accomplished, at a fraction of the costs of a pixelated and addressable device.

  • Patent number: 11405993
    Abstract: The invention relates to a lighting device which is operable in two modes. In a first operating mode the flux of a lighting effect having a specified chromaticity is rendered based on the maximum (luminous) flux at which the chromaticity can be rendered by the lighting device. This can cause the maximum (luminous) flux across a range of colors that the lighting device can render to vary greatly. For example, a white color may be rendered at a far greater intensity than a primary color. In a second operating mode the specified chromaticity is rendered based on a predetermined maximum (luminous) flux for that specified chromaticity, or a color range that it is comprised in, or a predetermined maximum (luminous) flux for one or more color channels that are used in combination to render the light effect. This reduces the differences in maximum (luminous) flux of lighting effects rendered across the range of colors that are rendered by the lighting device.
