METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DEPENDENTLY CONTROLLING COLOUR LIGHT SOURCES
First Claim
1. A lighting system for controlling colour light sources comprising:
- (a) a drive current controller for providing one or more primary drive current signals;
(b) one or more first groups of light-emitting elements, each first group operatively connected to the drive current controller and each first group responsive to a primary drive current indicative of one of the one or more primary drive current signals;
(c) a signal derivation module operatively connected to the drive current controller for determining one or more secondary drive current signals; and
(d) one or more second groups of light-emitting elements, each second group operatively connected to the signal derivation module and each second group responsive to a secondary drive current indicative of one of the one or more secondary drive current signals;
wherein each of the one or more secondary drive current signals is predetermined based on at least one of the one or more primary drive current signals.

Abstract
A method and system for dependently controlling colour light sources. The lighting system comprises a drive current controller providing current signals for one or more first groups of light-emitting elements, and a signal derivation module operatively connected to the drive current controller. The signal derivation module is configured to determine and provide current signals for one or more second groups of light-emitting elements, the current signals being based on the current signals provided to the first groups of light-emitting elements. The method comprises the steps of determining one or more first drive currents for driving one or more first groups of light-emitting elements, and determining one or more second drive currents for driving one or more second groups of light-emitting elements, wherein each of the one or more second drive currents is predetermined based on at least one of the one or more first drive currents.
