[0032] will refer to figure 1 A lighting system and a lighting fixture according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0033] The lighting fixture 1 according to the first embodiment includes a plurality of LEDs 2 as light sources emitting lights of colors different from each other. In this embodiment, these light sources emit light of three different colors such as red, green and blue, for example. The first light source, ie the red LED 2a, may comprise a GaAsP LED element. The second light source, green LED 2b, may comprise a GaP LED element. The third light source, blue LED 2c, may include a GaN LED element. Alternatively, the red LED 2a and the green LED 2b can be obtained by converting the wavelength of the white LED using a phosphor.

[0034] In this embodiment, the red LED 2a includes four LED elements connected in series. Each of the green LED 2b and the blue LED 2c includes two LED elements electrically connected in series. Further...

[0063] will refer to Figure 5 A circuit diagram of a lighting system and a lighting fixture according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0064] The structure of the second embodiment is almost the same as that of the first embodiment, but the second embodiment also employs a smoothing circuit including a capacitor C and a resistor arranged in parallel between the driving unit 7 and the LED 2 R. The capacitor C1 and the resistor R1 are electrically connected to the driving unit 7a and the LED 2a and arranged between the driving unit 7a and the LED 2a. The capacitor C2 and the resistor R2 are electrically connected to the drive unit 7b and the LED 2b and arranged between the drive unit 7b and the LED 2b. The capacitor C3 and the resistor R3 are electrically connected to the drive unit 7c and the LED 2c and arranged between the drive unit 7c and the LED 2c. Capacitors C1, C2 and C3 have the same capacity c, ie c1=c2=c3. In addition, resistor...

[0075] will refer to Figure 7 A circuit diagram of a microcomputer is shown to explain a lighting system and a lighting fixture according to a third embodiment of the present invention. Since the structure other than the microcomputer 6 is the same as the second embodiment, this description will focus on the difference between the second embodiment and the third embodiment.

[0076] The microcomputer 6 according to the third embodiment includes a dimming control circuit 61 and a light-off measurement unit 62 and an output unit 63 to realize the third embodiment. The dimming control unit 61 performs analog-to-digital (A / D) conversion on the DIM signal input from the dimming input unit 9, and determines the cycle and duty ratio of the PWM signal to obtain a target color temperature corresponding to the input signal DIM. luminous flux. The dimming control unit 61 also performs light-off control according to the energization state of the AC power supply AC.

Abstract

A lighting system for controlling a plurality of light sources includes at least a first and a second light source, the second light source having a color temperature and relative luminous efficiency higher than those of the first light source. Further, the system includes: a driving unit configured to turn on and off each of the light sources; and a control unit configured to transmit a control signal to the driving unit in response to an input signal. In addition, the control unit transmits the control signal to the driving unit, to perform at least one of a fade-in control in which the first light source is turned on prior to the second light source when turning on the light sources and a fade-out control in which the second light source is turned off or is dimmed, prior to the first light source when turning off the light sources.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a lighting system and a lighting fixture for lighting control (dimming) or toning by using a plurality of light sources having different colors. Background technique [0002] Recently, lighting fixtures using light emitting devices (LEDs) have been widely used as light sources for lighting. Therefore, there is an increasing demand for highly functional and low-cost lighting fixtures. Compared with incandescent lamps and discharge lamps, by using LEDs, it is possible to control the color of light more freely and easily, and perform lighting control (dimming) and color adjustment corresponding to the situation, thus more and more developments using LEDs. Various lighting fixtures. [0003] These types of lighting fixtures employ a technique for combining LEDs of different colors to obtain light of a desired color and / or a technique for controlling a lighting period and a lighting start timing. Figure 11 Examples of con...
