US 2014/0210373 A1 · PROGRAMMABLE LED LIGHTING DEVICE AND METHOD

Abstract

The invention relates to a lighting device and method, in particular underwater, including: a plurality of spotlights comprising at least one light source nude up of a set of LEDs, the spotlights being connected to an electric power source; and at least one control housing connected to said power source and communicating with each one of the spotlights, said control housing being provided with a cut-off device configured to transmit control instructions via a power cut-off member to the spotlights, which are provided with an on-board detector having a microprocessor configured such as to interpret said control instructions and to adjust a signal capable of modifying the colour of each one of the LEDs that make up the set of LEDs, characterised in that the control instructions transmitted by the cut-off device are transmitted in the form of a code made up of combinations of power cut-offs with various durations.
