Patent number: 10405383Abstract: A lighting control circuit is for controlling a lighting arrangement comprising a set of at least two light sources in parallel. A current driver is used to deliver a drive current to the lighting arrangement. A switch is associated with the second light source, which may for example be provided for color adjustment, and the duty cycle of the switch is controlled as well as the overall drive current setting thereby to control the color or color temperature setting and dimming level of the lighting arrangement. The controller derives the required average output current and the expected average output voltage from the current driver based on the determined duty cycle and the dimming level, and then derives the current driver setting. In this way, the current driver is accurately controlled to deliver the required output. This enables a single stage driver to be used to control the color or color temperature of multiple light source channels, for example in dependence on a dimming level.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2017Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: SIGNIFY HOLDING B.V.Inventors: Dirk Jan Van Kaathoven, Theo Gerrit Zijlman, Marcel Van Der Ham, Lambertus Adrianus Marinus De Jong

Patent number: 10299335Abstract: A system can configure a luminaire for providing illumination of a selected color temperature, a selected lumen output, or a selected photometric distribution. The luminaire can comprise at least two light sources that have different illumination characteristics, for example different color temperatures, different lumen outputs, or different photometric distributions. The system can configure the luminaire to operate a first of the two light sources, a second of the two light sources, or both of the light sources based on an input. When the luminaire is configured to operate both of the light sources, the luminaire can produce illumination having a color temperature, a lumen output, or a photometric distribution that is different than either of the two light sources.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2017Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: COOPER TECHNOLOGIES COMPANYInventors: Steven Walter Pyshos, Raymond Janik, Kevin Roy Harpenau
