High efficacy lighting signal converter and associated methods
First Claim
1. A signal adapting chromaticity system to control a lighting device comprising:
- a signal conversion engine that receives a source signal designating a color of light defined by a two spatial plus luminance dimensional color space and converts the source signal to a three dimensional color space defined within a subset gamut of a full color gamut;
wherein the signal conversion engine performs an angular conversion operation to convert the source signal to an output signal, and uses the output signal to drive light emitting diodes (LEDs); and
wherein the three dimensional color space defined by the subset gamut is divided from the full color gamut using angular determination to include;
an origin including the high efficacy light,primaries including colored light, the primaries defined in the subset gamut including a first subset primary relative to the first color light and a second subset primary relative to the second color light, anda subset gamut angular range included between a first primary angle relative to the first subset primary and a second primary angle relative to the second subset primary;

Abstract
A signal adapting chromacity system to control that may include a signal conversion engine to receive a source signal designating a color of light defined by a two spatial plus luminance dimensional color space, such as the xxY color space. The signal conversion engine may convert the source signal to a three dimensional color space defined within a subset gamut of a full color gamut, such as an RGW, RBW, or GBW color space. The subset gamut may include a first color light, a second color light and a high efficacy light. The signal conversion engine may perform a conversion operation to convert the source signal to an output signal, using the output signal to drive light emitting diodes (LEDs). The conversion operation may be a matrix, angular or linear conversion operation.
