SYNCHRONOUS LIGHT ADJUSTMENT METHOD AND THE DEVICE FOR PERFORMING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A synchronous light adjustment method for illumination or color temperature synchronous adjustment of at least one lamp, in that synchronism of a plurality of lamps are based on a frequency or a period of AC power source input to the at least one lamp, the method comprising the steps of:
- setting a first class operation which defines an operation that;
at least one power switch is switched through N limes in a predetermined time duration, while other switching out of the duration is discontinuous with the switching within the duration; and
N is a predetermined integer;
using a control unit to detect whether a switching operation about a power switch matches to the first class operation; and
if yes, the control unit controlling the plurality of LED lamps to actuate or stop a set operation;
namely, if the set operation is performed, the control unit will stop the operation;
if the set operation is not performed, the control unit will actuate the set operation;
wherein the set operation is one of an illumination adjustment and a color temperature adjustment.

Abstract
A synchronous light adjustment method and the device for performing the same are proposed. Each of plurality of lamps is installed with a light sensor and a control unit. By actuating a single power switch, the control unit will control the illumination of a respective one of the LED lamps independently and automatically based on the environmental illumination detected by a light sensor. Further, by switching the power switch manually to match predetermined operations, the control units will adjust the illuminations and color temperatures of the LED lamps synchronously and gradually. The device is convenient in installation and usage.

12. A synchronous light adjustment device for illumination or color temperature synchronous adjustment of at least one lamp, comprising:
-
one or a plurality of LED lamps; one or a plurality of light sensors arranged on the LED lamps or near the LED lamps; one or a plurality of control units electrically connected to the LED lamps and light sensors; a power switch electrically connected to the control units and a power source;
as the power switch being turned on, the control units will drive the LED lamps independently to adjust the illumination of the LED lamps based on environmental illumination detected by the light sensor;wherein if switching limes of the power switch are matched to predetermined operations, the control unit will enter into manual operation modes to adjust illuminations and color temperatures of the LED lamps, or the color temperature returns to an auto-operation mode from the manual operation mode;
in that the predetermined operation means that at least one power switch is switched through N times in a predetermined time duration, while other switching out of the duration is discontinuous with the switching within the duration; and
N is a predetermined integer; andthe synchronism of the adjustments of the LED lamps are based on the AC power source frequency or period of currents supplied to the LED lamps;
when the control unit determines that the switching operation of the power switch is unmatched the defined operation, one counter of the control unit is reset and the accumulation of the times of the counter is stopped;
if the switching operation of the power switch of the control unit is matched to the above mentioned first class operation or second class operation, the accumulation of the counting number is started based on the AC power source frequency or period of a current flowing to the power switch;when the accumulation of the counting number is achieved to a set value, the illumination or color temperature of the LED lamp is adjusted through one step and the counter is reset;
then the counter counts again to the set value, and the illumination or color temperature are further adjusted through one step;
above operation is repealed until the illumination is at a darkest state or at a lightest state;
or color temperature has achieved to a highest state of a lowest state;
or the control unit emitting a stop instruction;
then the counter is rest and accumulation of counting number is also stopped. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
