Abstract

A lighting device, such as a controllable light-emitting diode (LED) light source, may execute a self-calibration procedure to compensate for changes in an optical system of the lighting device that may have occurred after an initial factory calibration procedure. The lighting device may include an emitter, a detector that generates a detector signal in response to detected light, a memory that stores a curve defining an optical compensation value with respect to a measured forward voltage of the detector, and a control circuit configured to receive a measured value of a luminous flux of the light emitted by the emitter that may be determined in response to the detector signal and based on the optical compensation value. The control circuit may adjust the curve defining the optical compensation value in response to a difference between the measured value and an expected value of the luminous flux.

Claims (48)

control circuitry to:

determine, for each of a plurality of LED emitters, a respective gain factor that includes:

a first gain factor that is a linear function of forward voltage across a photodetector; and

a second gain factor that is a non-linear function of the forward voltage across the photodetector;

adjust a drive current applied to each of the plurality of LED emitters using the determined gain factor for the respective LED emitter; and

update the second gain factor based on the change in luminous flux of the respective emitter over time.

2. The LED lighting controller of claim 1 , wherein to determine, for each of the plurality of LED emitters, the respective gain factor that includes summing the first gain factor and the second gain factor.

3. The LED lighting controller of claim 1 , the control circuit to further:

for each of a plurality of LED emitters, receive a voltage feedback signal from the photodetector.

4. The LED lighting controller of claim 3 , the control circuit to further:
