Method for transmitting control instructions to a plurality of receivers and receiver adapted to receive a light pixel carrying the control instructions
Control instructions are transmitted to receivers by modulating light sources to generate light beams that are modulated with digital data streams for inducing control instructions in the light beams. Each light beam is applied to a pixel shaper element of a pixel shaper assembly to produce a light pixel, each light pixel carrying the control instructions of the light beam, each light pixel having a perimeter defined by the pixel shaper element. The pixel shaper assembly combines the light pixels into an image without significant overlap or voids between the light pixels. The light pixels are directed toward a projector lens for transmission toward the receivers. In a receiver, an optical receiver detects a light pixel. A controller decodes the control instructions received in the detected light pixel and uses the control instructions to control a function of the receiver.

Lighting apparatus
A lighting apparatus includes a light source module, an internal housing, an exterior housing and a sliding track. The light source module including a LED module. The LED module may include multiple types of LED chips of different parameters that may be controlled to mix a desired parameter. The internal housing has a light opening and a protruding block. The light source module is fixed to the internal housing and a light of the LED module passes through the light opening. An exterior housing having a sliding groove. The exterior housing encloses the internal housing and allows the protruding block of the internal housing moving along the sliding groove to change a tilt angle of the light with respect to the exterior housing. The sliding track is used for the exterior housing to move along the sliding track for further adjusting an output direction of the light.
