Abstract

A system comprising: a controller configured to apply at least one illumination setting to at least one illumination source, thereby causing the illumination source to emit light according to the applied illumination setting; electronic storage accessible to the controller; and a locking device configured to generate a lock command pertaining to the applied illumination setting, wherein the system is configured to mark the illumination setting as locked in the electronic storage in response to the lock command; wherein the controller is configured to receive a control command pertaining to the applied illumination setting, and modify the applied illumination setting according that control command unless the illumination setting is marked as locked when it is received, wherein the illumination setting is not modified in response to that control command in that event.

Dependent claims

A system comprising:

a controller configured to apply at least one illumination setting to at least one illumination source, thereby causing the illumination source to emit light according to the applied illumination setting;
electronic storage accessible to the controller;
and
a locking device configured to generate a lock command pertaining to the applied illumination setting, wherein the system is configured to mark the applied illumination setting as locked in the electronic storage in response to the lock command;
wherein the controller is configured to receive a control command pertaining to the applied illumination setting, and modify the applied illumination setting according to the received control command unless the applied illumination setting is marked as locked when the control command is received, such that the applied illumination setting is not modified in response to the received control command when the applied illumination setting is locked;
and
wherein the locking device is configured to generate the lock command when, via a user interface comprising a plurality of user interface elements, within a predetermined duration of an actuation of a user interface element that causes the illumination setting to be applied a further actuation of the same user interface element occurs.

A method of controlling an illumination source of a lighting system, the method comprising implementing by a controller of the lighting system the following steps:

applying an illumination setting to the illumination source;
receiving a control command pertaining to the applied illumination setting;
in response to the control command, accessing electronic storage to determine whether the applied illumination setting is marked as locked therein;
and
modifying the applied illumination setting according the received control command unless the applied illumination setting is marked as locked in the electronic storage when the control command is received, such that the applied illumination setting is not modified in response to the received control command when the applied illumination setting is locked, and the method further comprising implementing by a locking device of the lighting system the following step:
generating a lock command when, via a user interface comprising a plurality of user interface elements, within a predetermined duration of an actuation of a user interface element that causes the illumination setting to be applied a further actuation of the same user interface element occurs, the method further comprising implementing by the lighting system the following step:
marking the applied illumination setting as locked in the electronic storage in response to the lock command.
