Abstract

The invention provides a programmable solid state illuminating system and the controlling method thereof. The programmable solid state illuminating system is capable of controlling the property of a light ray emitted thereby in accordance with a user command inputted by a user. The system previously described comprises a lighting device, a driving device and an external controlling device, wherein the external controlling device comprises an outputting interface module, an inputting interface, a communicating module and a data processing module. Accordingly, the programmable solid state illuminating system of the present invention provides a simple, low cost and reliable way for adjusting the property of the light emitted by the lighting device and the user only need one inventory for various types of end products.

Claims

1. A programmable solid state illuminating system, capable of controlling the property of a light ray emitted thereby in accordance with a user command inputted by a user, which comprising:

a lighting device, for converting electricity energy into the light ray;

a driving device, electrically connected to the lighting device, for controlling the lighting device in accordance with a predetermined setting list, the predetermined setting list comprising at least one changeable feature task, each of the changeable feature task having a feature value correspondingly; and

an external controlling device, for amending the predetermined setting list of the driving device in accordance with the user command.

2. The programmable solid state illuminating system of claim 1, wherein the external controlling device further comprising:

an outputting interface module, for displaying the changeable feature task and the corresponding feature value to the user; and

an inputting interface module, for obtaining the user command from the user.

3. The programmable solid state illuminating system of claim 1, wherein the external controlling device further comprising:

a communicating module, for establishing a connection among the driving device and the external controlling device; and

a data processing module, electronically connected with a outputting interface module, a inputting interface module and the communicating module, for amending the predetermined setting list in accordance with the user command.

4. The programmable solid state illuminating system of claim 1, wherein changeable feature task is voltage, current, power consumption rate, color rendering index, color coordinates, luminance, wavelength, the on/off status or the on/off timing of the light ray.

5. The programmable solid state illuminating system of claim 3, wherein the communicating module is a wireless communicating device.

6. The programmable solid state illuminating system of claim 3, wherein the communicating module is connected with the driving device by mechanical means.

7. The programmable solid state illuminating system of claim 3, wherein the external controlling device further comprising:

an expansion module, for allowing the user to add an expansion kit to the external controlling device for improving the capability of the external controlling device.

8. A method of controlling a programmable solid state illuminating system, the programmable solid state illuminating system utilized for amending a predetermined setting list of a driving device in accordance with a user command for adjusting the property of a light ray emitted by a lighting device, which comprising the following steps:
