System and methods for operating a lighting device
First Claim
1. A lighting device comprising:
- a light source comprising a plurality of light-emitting diodes (LEDs);
a control circuit configured to control the operation of the light source; and
a communication device positioned in communication with the control circuit;
wherein the communication device is configured to receive a transmission;
wherein the transmission comprises a data structure;
wherein the data structure comprises an event packet;
wherein the event packet comprises information regarding a lighting spectrum, a fade type, and a fade duration; and
wherein the control circuit is configured to operate the light source to emit light transitioning from a present light emission having a present spectral power distribution to a light emission having spectral power distribution indicated by the lighting spectrum according to the fade type and fade duration, and to operate the light source to emit light having the spectral power distribution indicated by the lighting spectrum.

Abstract
A lighting device may include a light source, a control circuit, and a communication device positioned in communication with the control circuit. The communication device may be configured to receive a transmission from a user device, and the transmission may include a data structure. The data structure may include a show packet and an event packet. The show packet may include an ID string and information regarding a number of event packets associated with the data structure, and the event packet may include information regarding a lighting spectrum, a fade type, a fade duration, and a hold duration. The control circuit may be configured to operate the light source to emit light transitioning from a present light emission having a present spectral power distribution to a light emission having spectral power distribution indicated by the lighting spectrum according to the fade type and fade duration.
