Controlled lighting methods and apparatus
First Claim
1. A lighting system, comprising:
- a plurality of LEDs selected from a group consisting of red, green, blue, amber, white, orange and UV LEDs;
a controller adapted to control an overall color formed by combined light from at least two different color LEDs of the plurality of LEDs; and
a variable optical facility adapted to modify the combined light in response to mechanical activity, wherein the variable optical facility is configured to contain a fluid and is adapted to be deformed in response to mechanical activity such that at least a portion of the combined light is altered.

Abstract
Provided herein are methods and systems for providing controlled lighting, including methods and systems for providing both white and non-white colored lighting, including color temperature controlled lighting. Such methods and systems include optical facilities for modifying light from a lighting unit, such as an LED-based lighting unit, including variable optical facilities and fixed optical facilities. Also provided are methods and systems for using multi-color lighting units in a variety of commercial applications. Also provided are methods and systems for lighting control, including methods to assist lighting designers and installers to improve the quality of lighting in environments. Also provided are intelligent dimmers, switches, sockets and fixtures, as well as facilities for programming and using them. Also provided are various sensor-feedback applications of lighting technology, including sensor-feedback involving light sensors and forward voltage sensors. Also provided are lighting methods and systems that operate on time-based parameters.
