Embodiment Construction

[0033] FIG. 1 gives a schematic overview of the different components of a lighting device 1 according to the invention. The lighting device 1 includes a light emitting unit 2 and a user interface 3 . The user interface 3 comprises an object 4 having a plurality of sides 5 - represented in Fig. 1 by a cube as an example of a polyhedron. By positioning the cube, ie selecting on which side the cube is supported, the user can select the desired light color of the lighting unit 2 . The user is able to adjust the light intensity of the lighting unit 2 by rotating the cube about an axis perpendicular to the sides on which the cube supports. This enables the output signal of the user interface 3 to have the information needed to control the color and intensity of the lighting unit 2 .

[0034] The output signal of the user interface 3 is converted into a signal suitable for the driving circuit 8 to drive the light source 7 . This conversion of the output signal to the color and / or ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a lighting device (1) comprising a lighting unit (2) and a user interface (3) for controlling the lighting color and / or intensity of the lighting unit (2). The user interface (3) comprises a physical object (4), which is shaped as a polyhedron, for instance a cube. Orienting the physical object (4), i.e. choosing which side is up, serves to select the color , and rotating the physical object (4) about the side on which it rests serves to change the intensity setting. The user interface (3) generates an output signal, which is the input for a processing unit (9). This processing unit (9) converts this signal into a driving signal suitable for controlling the lighting unit (2).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a lighting device, which comprises a light emitting unit and an interface for controlling the light color and / or light intensity of the light emitting unit. [0002] The invention also relates to a user interface for controlling a lighting device, an assembly of a lighting unit and a processing unit controlled by such a user interface, and a control method of a lighting device. Background technique [0003] The current light sources mainly include only one light color, and the control of these light sources includes switch control or brightness adjustment. In the near future, light sources capable of producing full-spectrum colored light will be ubiquitous in all homes. Depending on the room or location, these kinds of light sources can be used to create almost any color and mood. [0004] In addition to luminous intensity or brightness, the color of the light must also be controlled, so the control of such light sources will...
