Abstract: A solid-state circadian rhythm lamp and luminaire and related control techniques are disclosed. The lamp or luminaire may have: (1) a night/pre-sleep emissions mode in which it emits light having a correlated color temperature (CCT) of about 1,800-2,300 K, the spectral power ratio of blue light (400-495 nm) being such that it constitutes about 10% or less of the total light emitted; (2) a day/wakeup emissions mode in which it emits light having a CCT of about 5,000-8,000 K, the spectral power ratio of blue light being such that it constitutes about 30% or more of the total light emitted; and/or (3) a general lighting mode in which it produces a combined light output having a CCT of about 2,500-5,000 K. The driver may support emissions mode changing based on hysteresis relating to a lighting switch associated with the lamp or luminaire.

Abstract: A light emitting element control circuit and power supply for a solid state lamp includes an electrical control circuit controller which enables the operation of a solid state lamp in three distinct modes, which allows the user significant flexibility in operation of the lamp. It enables the user to operate the lamp with a fixed emission spectrum but with intensity control (Mode I); or with discrete settings of blue only or red only or a fixed ratio of the two (Mode II); or an on-demand ratio of blue to red emission whereby the user can operate the lamp with any arbitrary ratio of blue to red for example to meet different spectral requirements of, for example, different phases of plant growth (Mode III).

Abstract: Systems to control light color temperature during dimming are disclosed. A power supply drives a load include a first light source (e.g., to emit a first color of light) and a second light source (e.g., to emit a second color of light). The power supply includes a front end circuit, a converter circuit, and a load current control circuit. The front end circuit receives an input voltage from a dimmer and generates a direct current (DC) voltage based on the received input voltage. The converter circuit generates a first voltage to drive the first light source and a second voltage to drive the second light source. The load current control circuit controls the current flowing through the second light source based on a light control setting configured in the dimmer.
