Abstract

A light controller for controlling a correction operation for a traditional light module without influences from traditional lights is disclosed herein. The light controller includes a power system, a control unit, and at least one traditional light control module. The traditional light control module further includes a wave filter, a radiating unit, and a microprocessor. The traditional light control module is used for receiving an electronic control signal integrated by the power system and the control unit through the wave filter. The wave filter is configured to filter and output an electric signal and a control signal, wherein the radiating unit is configured to receive the electric signal for generating illumination, and the microprocessor is configured to decode the control signal for further controlling the operation of the radiating unit.

Claims

1. A light controller comprising:

a power system configured to receive and transform an external power and output an electric signal;

a control unit configured to generate a control signal to the power system, wherein an electronic control signal is formed by the electric signal and the control signal; and

at least one traditional light control module configured to connect electrically to the power system, the traditional light control module comprising;

a wave filter configured to receive and filter the electronic control signal and output the electric signal and the control signal;

a radiating unit configured to receive the electric signal for generating a illumination light; and

a microprocessor configured to decode the control signal filtered from the wave filter for further controlling the operation of the radiating unit.

2. The light controller of claim 1, wherein the external power is a high voltage power or a low voltage power.

3. The light controller of claim 1, wherein the control unit outputs the control signal to the power system in a wired or wireless manner.

4. The light controller of claim 1, wherein the control signal is formed by a packet format.

5. The light controller of claim 4, wherein content in the packet format comprises beginning data, transferring data, allocation data, luminance data, illumination data, and a moving distance.

6. The light controller of claim 1, wherein the power signal is a low frequency power signal, and the control signal is a high frequency control signal.

7. The light controller of claim 1, wherein the electronic control signal transferred to the traditional light control module via at least two control lines.

8. The light controller of claim 7, wherein the control lines are applied to a track.

9. The light controller of claim 1, wherein the electronic control signal controls the traditional light control module and an LED control module simultaneously.

10. The light controller of claim 1, wherein the wave filter filters and outputs the power signal and the control signal by a method of impedance matching.

11. The light controller of claim 1, wherein the radiating unit comprises:

at least one traditional illumination light; and

a power control unit configured to accept controls from the microprocessor for changing the radiating effect of the traditional illumination light.

12. The light controller of claim 11, wherein the traditional illumination light is an aero-discharging lamp, a tungsten filament light bulb, a haloid light bulb, or a filament light bulb.

13. A traditional light control module which is applied to a light controller, the traditional light control module comprising:

a wave filter configured to receive an electronic control signal and filter out the electric signal and the control signal from the electronic control signal;

a radiating unit configured to receive the electric signal for generating a illumination light; and

a microprocessor configured to decode the control signal filtered by the wave filter for further controlling the operation of the radiating unit.

14. The traditional light control module of claim 13, wherein the wave filter filters out the power signal and the control signal by a method of impedance matching.

15. The traditional light control module of claim 13, wherein the control signal is formed by a packet format.

16. The traditional light control module of claim 13, wherein the radiating unit comprises:

at least one traditional illumination light; and

a power control unit configured to accept controls from the microprocessor for changing the radiating effect of the traditional illumination light.

17. The traditional light control module of claim 16, wherein the traditional illumination light is an aero-discharging lamp, a tungsten filament light bulb, a haloid light bulb, or a filament light bulb.
