Each one of the integrated circuits is electrically coupled to a respective one of the light emitting sets. Each of the integrated circuits is configured to modify the rectified sine waveform into a truncated rectified sine waveform based on the dimming signal. Each of the integrated circuits is configured to turn on or off a number of the light emitting diodes included in a respective one of the light emitting sets based on the truncated rectified sine waveform. | 2015-10-08 |
20150289328 | LIGHTING FIXTURE WITH APPLICATION CONTROLLER - More efficient full spectrum lighting technology may provide new lighting possibilities. A system that implements full spectrum lighting technology may include a lighting fixture that includes one or more light sources, in which the lighting fixture may spectrally vary a light output of the one or more light sources in response to an electronic output signal. The system may further include a light sensor that monitors an output light spectrum provided by the one or more light sources. The system also includes an application controller that determines whether the output light spectrum from the one or more light sources follows a program. The application controller may generate an electronic output signal to spectrally vary the light output of the one or more light sources in order to follow the program. | 2015-10-08 |
