Control system for an illumination device incorporating discrete light sources
First Claim
1. An illumination system comprising:
- a) a plurality of light-emitting elements for providing illumination having a variety of wavelengths,b) at least one detecting device for providing information regarding the illumination being created by the light-emitting elements;
c) a computing system for receiving the information from the at least one detecting device and based on a predetermined set of parameters, determining a plurality of control parameters, said predetermined set of parameters defined by a multivariate function having a solution defining a hyperplane representing constant chromaticity for a given luminous intensity;
d) a controller for receiving the plurality of control parameters and determining a set of control signals, wherein said control signals are sent to the light-emitting elements in order to control the illumination being created; and
e) a power source for providing power to the illumination system.

Abstract
The present invention provides an illumination system enabling dynamic color control of the illumination produced by the system. The illumination system comprises light-emitting elements for producing illumination, and at least one detecting device which collects information relating to the illumination, which is inherently non-linear. The illumination system also integrates a computing system which receives the information from the at least one detecting device and linearises this information using a multivariate function having a solution defining a hyperplane representing constant chromaticity for a given luminous intensity, and then determines a number of control parameters based on the information. The illumination system also integrates a controller for receiving the control parameters from the computing system and determining the control signals to be sent to the light-emitting elements in order to dynamically alter the characteristics of the illumination based on the collected information and the desired illumination result.
