Embodiment Construction

[0054] User responsive lighting systems have been implemented in which users carry personal devices that communicate their lighting needs to the lighting system. The light output of one or more lighting fixtures in the lighting environment may be adjusted based on their lighting needs in response to the user's lighting preferences. While such systems enable adjustment of lighting fixtures based on a user's individual settings, they may have one or more disadvantages. For example, in some environments, a user-responsive lighting system may not be able to achieve freedom of movement while maintaining lighting preferences. Also, for example in some environments where multiple users interact, closely located users with different lighting needs may not be supplied with individual lighting zones that reduce the contrast between individual lighting zones.

[0055] Various therapeutic lighting systems have also been implemented. Such therapeutic lighting systems typically include li...

Abstract

Methods for providing personalized lighting to users (102A, 102H) positioned proximal to one another. First lighting (103A, 106A) may be provided to a first user (102A) when the first user is not proximal any conflicting lighting users (102H). Second lighting (103A, 106A) may be provided to the first user (102A) when a first user lighting need is in conflict with a conflicting user (103H, 106H) lighting need of a conflicting user (102H) that is proximal the first user (102A). The second lighting (103A, 106A) may be set to minimize contrast with lighting supplied to the conflicting user.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to lighting controls and lighting devices. More particularly, various innovative methods and devices disclosed herein relate to methods and devices for providing personalized lighting to users positioned near one another. Background technique [0002] Digital lighting technology, that is, lighting based on semiconductor light sources such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs), offers a viable alternative to conventional fluorescent, HID, and incandescent lamps. Functional advantages and benefits of LEDs include high energy conversion and optical efficiency, durability, lower operating costs, and the like. Recent developments in LED technology provide efficient and robust full-spectrum lighting sources that enable various lighting effects in many applications. Some of the fixtures containing these sources feature a lighting module that includes one or more LEDs capable of producing different colors such as red, green,...
