Abstract
Modules, devices, systems and methods that allow for remotely changing the white colors of LEDS (light emitting diodes) in overhead or wall mounted lights, as well as in ceiling fan lights by a remote control or wall switch, without requiring a three-position mechanical switch mounted on the light.
Claims12
A method for remotely changing white color light settings, comprising the steps of:
- providing an LED light module consisting of having a plurality of solely white LEDs (light emitting diodes);
- installing the LED light module in an overhead mount or wall mount;
- providing a wireless single white color changing AC power switch;
- locating the wireless single white color changing power switch in a remote location from the installed LED light module;
- the remotely located wireless single white color changing switch is not mounted on nor adjacent to the overhead mount nor to the wall mount;
- and
- remotely changing the solely white LEDs (light emitting diodes) to solely different selected white light settings with the wireless single white color changing power switch;
- wherein the step of remotely changing the solely white LEDs (light emitting diodes) to different selected white light settings includes the step of:
- providing the different selected white light settings to be between approximately 2200K to approximately 6000K;
- wherein the step of remotely changing the solely white LEDs flight emitting diodes) to different selected white light settings includes the step of:
- providing a first operation scenario wherein turning the single white color changing power switch from an on state to off state for a short period of time between 50 ms and approximately 2 seconds and turning the single white color changing power switch back on changes a white light setting to go from a previous white light setting to a next white light setting;
- and
- providing a second operation scenario wherein turning the single white color changing power switch from an on state having the existing selected white color setting to off and after a long period of greater than approximately 2 seconds turning the single white color changing power switch back on repeats the existing selected white color light setting.

- providing an LED light module consisting of having a plurality of solely white LEDs (light emitting diodes);
- installing the light module in an overhead mounted location or wall mounted location;
- providing a remotely located wireless single white color changing AC power switch, wherein the wireless single white color changing power switch is not mounted on nor adjacent to the overhead location nor to the wall location;
- and
- remotely changing the solely white LEDs (light emitting diodes) to selected white light settings between approximately 2200K to approximately 6000K, wherein the single white color changing AC power switch is not mounted on nor adjacent to the light module;
- wherein the step of remotely changing the solely white LEDs flight emitting diodes) to selected white light settings, includes the steps of:
- providing a first operation scenario wherein turning the single white color changing power switch from an on state to an off state for a short period of time between 50 ms and approximately 2 seconds and turning the single white color changing power switch back on changes a white light setting to go from a previous white light setting to a next white light setting in a series of white colors;
- and
- providing a second operation scenario wherein turning the single white color changing power switch from an on state having an existing selected white color setting to off and after a long period of greater than approximately 2 seconds turning the single white color changing power switch back on repeats the existing selected white light setting.

A white color changing light system for white LED (light emitting diodes) light, comprising:
- a LED light module mounted in a wall light, the LED light module consisting of a plurality of solely white LEDs (light emitting diodes);
- a remotely located wireless single white color changing AC power switch for remotely changing white light emitted from the wall mounted light to only selected white light settings between approximately 2200K to approximately 6000K, wherein the single white color changing power switch is not mounted on or adjacent to the light, the remotely located wireless single white color changing power switch is not mounted on or adjacent to the wall light;
- further comprising:
- a first operation scenario wherein turning the single white color changing power switch from an on state to an off state for a short period of time between 50 ms and approximately 2 seconds and turning the single white color changing AC power switch back on changes a white light setting to go from a previous white light setting to a next white light setting in a series of white colors;
- a memory in the light module for storing an existing selected white color setting based on the first operation scenario;
- and
- a second operation scenario wherein turning the single white color changing power switch from an on state having an existing selected white color setting to off and after a long period of greater than approximately 2 seconds turning the single white color changing power switch back on repeats the existing selected white light setting from the memory.
