Lighting device using multiple scattered light sources to change illumination angle and color

A lighting device using multiple scattered light sources to change illumination angle and color temperature by adjusting light intensity includes a central light source portion, a peripheral light source portion and an optical lens on a lamp board. The optical lens covers the central and peripheral light source portions. The central light source portion has first cold LEDs and first warm LEDs equidistantly installed near a setting area of the lamp board. The peripheral light source portion has second cold LEDs and second warm LEDs installed within an area range that takes the setting center as center of circle and has a diameter of 6-8 mm. A controller is used to adjust a driving current intensity of the central and peripheral light source portion to adjust the illumination angle and color temperature of the lighting device, and the intensity performance or On/Off state of each LED can be controlled independently.

Load control device for high-efficiency loads

A load control device for controlling power delivered from an AC power source to an electrical load may comprise a thyristor, a gate current path, and a control circuit. The control circuit may be configured to control the gate current path to conduct a pulse of gate current through a gate terminal of the thyristor to render the thyristor conductive at a firing time during a half-cycle of the AC power source. The control circuit may operate in a first gate drive mode in which the control circuit renders the gate current path non-conductive after a pulse time period from the firing time. The control circuit may operate in a second gate drive mode in which the control circuit maintains the gate current path conductive after the pulse time period during the half-cycle.

A light-emitting diode (LED) luminaire comprising LED arrays, a transceiver circuit, a voltage converter circuit, and a control circuit is adopted to convert remote control signals into PWM signals to operate the voltage converter circuit, controlling luminous intensity and color temperature of the LED luminaire. The LED luminaire further comprises a remote controller. When the remote control signals are initiated by the remote controller with phase-shift keying (PSK) signals transmitted, the transceiver circuit can demodulate such PSK signals and subsequently send the PWM signals responsive to decoded commands to control the voltage converter circuit to turn the LED arrays on and off, to tune the LED arrays up and down, and to dim the LED arrays up and down.
