Abstract: A configurable controller for a lighting arrangement or assembly is adapted to control or change an output characteristic of the lighting arrangement in response to a user input received at a user interface. The configurable controller limits the amount to which a user input at the user interface may adjust the output characteristics by storing a range of selectable or presently available values for the output characteristic. This range of selectable values is adjustable based upon a configuration input received from a remote device at a communication unit.

The satellite lighting device is arranged for transmitting, in response to receiving the association request, its identifier to the central lighting device. The identifier is only transmitted if an association process is enabled. The association process is enabled, in response to a user request, during a limited time period. The central lighting device is further arranged for associating, in response to receiving the identifier, the satellite lighting device with the central lighting device.

Abstract: A lighting system comprises a set of light sources and a remote control unit. The remote control unit comprises a user interface through which a user may identify an area in an image and a light source. The identified image area is linked with the light source and color information of the identified image area is transmitted to the light source. The light source is thereby enabled to adapt its light output to the color information. A user is thereby enabled to pick the color to be outputted by a light source by selecting an area in an image displayed on the remote control unit. The remote control unit may be part of a mobile telephone, a tablet computer, an electronic photo frame, or a television screen.

Abstract: The invention relates to a user interface (100) for use by a patient, e.g. a stroke victim, for controlling video and images displayed on a patient display (170). The user interface includes display components (111-113) for displaying images and video created from visual object data. The display components are selectable by the patient so that by selection of display component, images or video displayed on the display component will be displayed in full on the patient display. The user interface is configured so that the display components resemble corresponding display units (171-173) of the patient display. The display components and other buttons may have a size and may be centered in the user interface (100) to ease use of the user interface for patients having a reduced ability to operate buttons on a user interface.
