Abstract
The present invention provides a solid state illuminating system having a centralized controlling module, coupled with a monitoring module and a power supplying module, for converting electricity from a second format to a third format so as to embed a PWM signal therein in accordance with a status signal obtained by an user via a monitoring module. Accordingly, the present invention is capable of supporting various kinds of potential dimming control method and has the advantage of low manufacturing cost without substantially adjustment to the present illumining system.
Claims7
A solid state illumining system, comprising:
- a monitoring module, for generating a status signal;
- a power source, isolated from grid network, comprising a photo-PV, for generating electricity with a first format;
- a power supplying module, for receiving electricity with the first format so as to output electricity with a second format;
- a centralized controlling module, coupled with the monitoring module and the power supplying module, for converting the electricity from the second format to a third format embedded with a PWM signal in accordance with the status signal;
- and
- a plurality of remote illuminating modules, each of the illuminating modules being connected with the controlling module for obtaining the electricity with the third format so as to generate a light ray in accordance with the PWM signal embedded in the electricity with a third format respectively;
- wherein the controlling module is capable of monitoring the AC phase of the electricity with the second format for a phase cut dimming function with a trailing type lighting dimmer or a TRIAC type lighting dimmer.
