Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to systems and methods for calibrating light-emitting diode (LED) light engines. The systems and methods described herein include characterizing the performance of a red-green-blue (RGB) LED light engine so as to enable the display of calibrated, dimensionless output values that accurately reflect a perceived brightness of illumination generated by the light engine for a specific output color.

A method may comprise: commanding, by a processor, a lighting system to generate a first desired effect in accordance with a first spectral weighting mode; determining, by the processor, a first optimized predetermined variable within a first predetermined domain to generate the desired effect based on the first spectral weighting mode; commanding, by the processor, the lighting system to transition from the first desired effect to a second desired effect, the second desired effect in accordance with a second spectral weighting mode; and determining by the processor, a second optimized predetermined variable within a second predetermined domain to generate the second desired effect based on the second spectral weighting mode, the first optimized predetermined variable being different from the second optimized predetermined variable.

A lighting system includes a light engine including a correlated color temperature (CCT) terminal configured to transmit a first power signal having a first variance and to receive a CCT signal, the light engine being configured to emit light according to the CCT signal, and a CCT clamp coupled to the CCT terminal, and configured to receive the first power signal and to generate the CCT signal having a second variance, the first variance of the first power signal being greater than the second variance of the CCT signal.

An illumination device having a light-emitting diode field and an adjustable current source for each LED. The current source delivers a pulse width modulated current having a pulse height. An open-loop/closed-loop controller is provided for the open-loop/closed-loop control of the brightness of the LEDs. A setpoint value for the pulse height can be produced for the current source. A brightness value can be specified for each LED in accordance with the setpoint value, encoded in a video signal, and provided at a video signal output. The light-emitting diode field has a decoder, which is connected to the video signal input and via which the brightness value can be decoded from the video signal and converted into a duty cycle with which the pulse height can be produced;

Disclosed herein is a method of optical pulse emission including three phases. During a first phase, a capacitor is charged from a supply voltage node. During a second phase, a voltage stored on the capacitor is boosted, and then the capacitor is at least partially discharged through a light emitting device. During a third phase, the capacitor is further discharged by bypassing the light emitting device. The third phase may begin prior to an end of the second phase.

A home device controller can include one or more touch grooves, a touch slider operatively coupled to each of the one or more touch grooves, and one or more processors. The processor(s) can receive signals from each touch sensor, each signal corresponding to a touch gesture performed by a user interacting with the one or more touch grooves. The processor(s) can generate control commands executable by a home device based at least in part on the signals, and transmit the control commands to the home device for execution.
