SETTINGS FOR LIGHT LOADS CONNECTED TO BUS
First Claim
1. A device for selecting a setting for one or more illuminating light loads connected to a bus, the device comprisinga controller for running a calculation and for defining, through a control of a power converter connected to the bus, in response to a calculation result, a direct current voltage signal for the bus, anda power detector for detecting a change in a total power consumption of the one or more illuminating light loads and for in response to a detection of the change informing the controller to run the calculation again.

Abstract
Devices (1) for selecting settings for illuminating light loads (2, 3) connected to a bus (4) comprise controllers (11) for running processes and for defining, through controls of power converters (5, 6) connected to the bus (4), in response to process results, direct current voltage signals for the bus (4) and comprise power detectors (12) for detecting changes in total power consumptions of the illuminating light loads (2, 3) and for in response to detections of the changes informing the controllers (11) to run the processes again. This way, links are created between the total power consumption via the bus (4) and the direct current voltage signal on the bus (4), to save energy. The devices (1) may further comprise receivers (13) for receiving definitions of optimal individual voltage signals and/or of optimal individual power consumptions and/or of voltage amplitudes and may further comprise power meters (14) for measuring the total power consumption of the illuminating light loads (2, 3) for different direct current voltage signals for the bus (4).

13. A method for selecting a setting for one or more illuminating light loads connected to a bus, the method comprising
running a calculation and defining, through a control of a power converter connected to the bus, in response to a calculation result, a direct current voltage signal for the bus, and detecting a change in a total power consumption of the one or more illuminating light loads and in response to a detection of the change running the calculation again.
