HIGH EFFICACY LIGHTING SIGNAL CONVERTER AND ASSOCIATED METHODS
First Claim
1. A signal adapting chromacity system to control a lighting device comprising:
- a signal conversion engine that receives a source signal designating a color of light defined by a two spatial plus luminance dimensional color space and converts the source signal to a three dimensional color space defined within a subset gamut of a full color gamut;
wherein the signal conversion engine performs a conversion operation to convert the source signal to an output signal, and uses the output signal to drive light emitting diodes (LEDs); and
wherein the subset gamut includes a first color light, a second color light and a high efficacy light.

Abstract
A signal adapting chromacity system to control that may include a signal conversion engine to receive a source signal designating a color of light defined by a two spatial plus luminance dimensional color space, such as the xxY color space. The signal conversion engine may convert the source signal to a three dimensional color space defined within a subset gamut of a full color gamut, such as an RGW, RBW, or GBW color space. The subset gamut may include a first color light, a second color light and a high efficacy light. The signal conversion engine may perform a conversion operation to convert the source signal to an output signal, using the output signal to drive light emitting diodes (LEDs). The conversion operation may be a matrix, angular or linear conversion operation.
