Abstract
An LED lighting device or LED lamp comprising one or more LED packages; and a switch control unit is provided. The switch control unit is configured to operate the one or more LED packages. The switch control unit is in communication with a sensor located in a space, the LED lighting device or LED lamp also being located in the space. The switch control unit is configured to (i) receive a sensor signal from the sensor, (ii) process the sensor signal, (iii) determine an adjustment to the operating light qualities of the LED lighting device or LED lamp based on the processing of the sensor signal and one or more goal light qualities corresponding to the space, and (iv) adjust the operation of the one or more LED packages in accordance with the adjustment.
Claims16
An LED lighting device or LED lamp comprising:
- a plurality of LED packages;
- a control unit configured to control operation of the plurality of LED packages in accordance with a user-selected operating mode selected from at least two available operating modes;
- a communication interface in communication with the control unit;
- and
- a non-transitory memory accessible by the control unit,
- wherein:
- operation of the plurality of LED packages in accordance with a first operating mode of the at least two available operating modes comprises operating the plurality of LED packages such that the LED lighting device or LED lamp provides light having a set light quality corresponding to the first operating mode, and
- operating of the plurality of LED packages in accordance with a second operating mode of the at least two available operating modes comprises:
- accessing information identifying a first light quality from the memory;
- operating the plurality of LED packages such that the LED lighting device or LED lamp provides light having the first light quality,
- determining that a communication interface coupled to the control unit received a signal from a remote switch, and
- modifying the operation of the plurality of LED packages such that the light provided by the LED lighting device or LED lamp provides light having a second light quality determined based at least in part on the signal.
