20130229124 | Dimmable Solid State Lighting System, Apparatus, and Article Of Manufacture Having Encoded Operational Parameters - Exemplary systems, methods, apparatuses and articles of manufacture for a distributed solid-state lighting system are disclosed. An exemplary article of manufacture comprises a plurality of machine-readable data fields optically encoding a plurality of operational parameters utilized in a system comprising a central power source, and one or more terminal lighting apparatuses. An exemplary central power source includes an optical scanner for input of the operational parameters, and a central controller to provide a first control signal to a DC/DC converter to provide a DC voltage level corresponding to a selected brightness level. A terminal lighting apparatus may comprise: a plurality of LEDs; a current (or power) source or regulator; and a terminal controller which, in response to the DC voltage level, provides a second control signal to the current source or regulator to provide a selected current level of the LEDs corresponding to the selected brightness level. | 09-05-2013 |
20130229119 | Dimmable Solid State Lighting System, Apparatus and Method, with Distributed Control and Intelligent Remote Control - Exemplary systems, methods and apparatuses for a distributed solid-state lighting system are disclosed. An exemplary system comprises a central power source, and one or more terminal lighting apparatuses. An exemplary central power source comprises: an AC/DC rectifier coupled to a DC/DC converter to convert an AC input power to a first DC voltage level; a central user interface to receive user input for a selected brightness level; and a central controller to provide a first control signal to the DC/DC converter to provide a second DC voltage level corresponding to the selected brightness level. A terminal lighting apparatus may comprise: a plurality of LEDs; a current (or power) source or regulator; and a terminal controller which, in response to the second DC voltage level, provides a second control signal to the current source or regulator to provide a selected current level of the LEDs corresponding to the selected brightness level. | 09-05-2013 |
