INTELLIGENT MUSIC LAMP STRING
The present disclosure provides an intelligent music lamp string. The intelligent music lamp string includes a human body sensing module, a control module, a music control module and a lamp string. The human body sensing module is configured to sense a human body and output a sensing signal when the human body is sensed. The control module is configured to receive the sensing signal and output an enable signal and a control signal according to the sensing signal. The music control module is configured to receive the enable signal and play a predetermined music according to the enable signal. The lamp string is configured to receive the control signal and start to work according to the control signal, a duty cycle of the control signal in each cycle corresponding to beats of each section of the predetermined music.
LED DRIVING CIRCUIT AND DRIVING METHOD THEREOF
The present embodiment relates to a communication protocol between an MCU and an LED driving circuit for LED driving. The MCU may define and use an SPI protocol including ID setting, a command, configuration data, etc.
Method and apparatus for determining a target light intensity from a phase-control signal
A dimmable ballast circuit for a compact fluorescent lamp controls the intensity of a lamp tube in response to a phase-control voltage received from a dimmer switch. The ballast circuit comprises a phase-control-to-DC converter circuit that receives the phase-control voltage, which is characterized by a duty cycle defining a target intensity of the lamp tube, and generates a DC voltage representative of the duty cycle of the phase-control voltage. Changes in the duty cycle of the phase-control voltage that are below a threshold amount are filtered out by the converter circuit, while intentional changes in the duty cycle of the phase-control voltage are reflected in changes in the target intensity level and thereby the intensity level of the lamp tube.

Multiple location load control system
A multiple location load control system comprises a main device and remote devices, which do not require neutral connections, but allow for visual and audible feedback at the main device and the remote devices. The main device and the remote devices are adapted to be coupled together via an accessory wiring. The main device can be wired on the line side and the load side of the load control system. The main device is configured to enable a charging path to allow the remote devices to charge power supplies through the accessory wiring during a first time period of a half cycle of the AC power source. The main device and the remote devices are configured to communicate with each other via the accessory wiring during a second time period of the half cycle, for example, by actively pulling-up and actively pulling-down the accessory wiring to communicate using tri-state logic.

Measuring lighting levels using a visible light sensor
A visible light sensor may be configured to sense environmental characteristics of a space using an image of the space. The visible light sensor may be controlled in one or more modes, including a daylight glare sensor mode, a daylighting sensor mode, a color sensor mode, and/or an occupancy/vacancy sensor mode. In the daylight glare sensor mode, the visible light sensor may be configured to decrease or eliminate glare within a space. In the daylighting sensor mode and the color sensor mode, the visible light sensor may be configured to provide a preferred amount of light and color temperature, respectively, within the space. In the occupancy/vacancy sensor mode, the visible light sensor may be configured to detect an occupancy/vacancy condition within the space and adjust one or more control devices according to the occupation or vacancy of the space. The visible light sensor may be configured to protect the privacy of users within the space via software, a removable module, and/or a special sensor.
