Illumination device and method for calibrating an illumination device over changes in temperature, drive current, and time
An illumination device and method are provided herein for calibrating individual LEDs in the illumination device to obtain a desired luminous flux and a desired chromaticity of the device over changes in drive current, temperature, and over time as the LEDs age. The calibration method may include subjecting the illumination device to a first ambient temperature, successively applying at least three different drive currents to a first LED to produce illumination at three or more different levels of brightness, obtaining a plurality of optical measurements from the illumination produced by the first LED at each of the at least three different drive currents, obtaining a plurality of electrical measurements from the photodetector and storing results of the obtaining steps within the illumination device to calibrate the first LED at the first ambient temperature. The plurality of optical measurements may generally include luminous flux and chromaticity, the plurality of electrical measurements may generally include induced photocurrents and forward voltages, and the calibration method steps may be repeated for each LED included within the illumination device and upon subjecting the illumination device to a second ambient temperature.
System, method, apparatus, and program for light tower control
A method, system, apparatus, and program for scheduling and controlling light towers in the field and receiving detailed reports relating to the same. The system for light tower control includes a telematics platform, a telematics device; and a light tower. The telematics platform is configured to transmit and receive a UDP message over a cellular network, wherein a transmitted UDP message contains a control signal for turning ON or OFF a light tower. The telematics device is configured to receive the UDP message and configure a voltage output of the telematics device based on the control signal. If the control signal is ON the voltage output of the telematics device is changed from Low to High and if the control signal is OFF the voltage output of the telematics device is changed from High to Low. A relay controller of the light tower turns the light tower ON if the output voltage of the telematics device is High and turns the light tower OFF if the output voltage of the telematics device is Low.
