Abstract
A lighting system and method electrically control optics of light generated by a light source. The light source generates a light defined by a light distribution. An electro-active optical component changes the light distribution responsive to a change in an electric potential applied across the electro-active optical component by an electronic control system.
Claims25
A method comprising:
- generating light comprising a light distribution from a light source;
- and
- changing the light distribution by varying the first electric potential applied across an electro-active optical component by an electronic control system
A system comprising:
- a light source configured to generate a light defined by a light distribution;
- and
- an electro-active optical component configured to change the light distribution responsive to a change in a first electric potential applied across the electro-active optical component by an electronic control system.
A system comprising:
- a light source configured to generate a light defined by a light distribution;
- and
- an electro-active optical component configured to change the light distribution responsive to a change in a first electric potential applied to the electro-active optical component and configured to change a direction at which the light distribution is oriented responsive to a change in specularity of the electro-active optical component.
