Abstract

A lighting system includes an LED controller, and an LED array which includes first and second LED sub-arrays, wherein the LED array is operatively coupled to the LED controller. The lighting system includes an antenna in communication with the LED controller. First and second wavelength spectrums are provided by the first and second LED sub-arrays, respectively, and are adjustable in response to adjusting an input signal provided to the antenna.

Claims (32)

1. A lighting system, comprising:

an LED controller;

an LED array which includes first and second LED sub-arrays, wherein the LED array is operatively coupled to the LED controller;

an antenna in communication with the LED controller;

wherein first and second wavelength spectrums provided by the first and second LED sub-arrays, respectively, are adjustable in response to adjusting an input signal provided to the antenna.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first LED sub-array includes first, second and third light emitting diodes which emit first, second and third colors of light, respectively.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the intensities of the first, second and third colors of light are adjustable relative to each other in response to adjusting the input signal.

4. The system of claim 2 , wherein the second LED sub-array includes fourth, fifth and sixth light emitting diodes which emit fourth, fifth and sixth colors of light, respectively, the fourth, fifth, and sixth colors of light each respectively have an intensity.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the intensities of the fourth, fifth and sixth colors of light are adjustable relative to each other in response to adjusting the input signal.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the input signal is adjusted to drive the first and second wavelength spectrums to match the action spectrum of the physiological activity of a plant.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the input signal is adjusted to drive the first and second wavelength spectrums to match the action spectrum of the physiological activity of first and second plants, respectively.

8. A lighting system, comprising:

an LED controller;

an LED array which includes first and second LED sub-arrays, wherein the LED array is operatively coupled to the controller;

a memory in communication with the LED controller;

wherein first and second wavelength spectrums provided by the first and second LED sub-arrays, respectively, are determined by a first recipe stored with the memory.

9. The system of claim 8 , further including an antenna in communication with the memory.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the first recipe is flowed to the memory in response to a wireless signal being received by the antenna.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the memory stores a second recipe.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein one of the first and second recipes are selected in response to a wireless signal being received by the antenna.

13. The system of claim 8 , further including a sensor operatively coupled to the LED controller, wherein the operation of the LED controller is adjustable in response to a sense signal provided by the sensor.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the sensor is responsive to a condition proximate to the lighting system.

15. A lighting system, comprising:

an LED controller;

an LED array which includes first and second LED sub-arrays, wherein the LED array is operatively coupled to the controller;

a first sensor in communication with the LED controller;

wherein first and second wavelength spectrums provided by the first and second LED sub-arrays, respectively, are determined in response to a first sense signal provided by the first sensor.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the intensity of light emitted by the first and second LED sub-arrays is adjustable in response to adjusting the first sense signal.

17. The system of claim 15 , further including an antenna, wherein the antenna flows information corresponding to the first sense signal to a remote device.

18. The system of claim 15 , further including a second sensor in communication with the LED controller which provides a second sense signal to the LED controller.

19. The system of claim 18 , wherein the intensity of light emitted by the first and second LED sub-arrays is adjustable in response to adjusting the second sense signal.

20. The system of claim 18 , wherein the intensity of light emitted by the first and second LED sub-arrays is adjustable in response to adjusting the first and second sense signals.
