Systems and methods for selection of display mode using a single button lighting module

1. A method for selecting a display mode on a lighting module, the lighting module having only a single button, the method comprising:

receiving a first actuation of the single button at the lighting module;

responsive to the first actuation, displaying a sequence of display modes by activating a light of the lighting module;

receiving a second actuation of the single button at the lighting module; and

responsive to the second actuation, displaying a selected display mode of the sequences of display modes corresponding to a displayed mode displaying at a time the second actuation was received.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a third actuation of the single button at the lighting module; and

responsive to the third actuation, deactivating the lighting module.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the sequence of display modes is a sequence of different color illuminations of the lighting module.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the sequence of display modes is a sequence of different colors and patterns of illumination of the lighting module.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a microprocessor that is part of the lighting module receives inputs and produces the sequence of display modes.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein each display mode of the sequence of display modes is displayed for a standard time period.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the standard time period is between one to five seconds.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the lighting module includes an LED, and the LED changes colors and patterns to present the sequence of display modes.

9. A system for lighting that includes a mode selection system, comprising:

a lighting module;

the lighting module including:

a light source;

a microprocessor; and

a button;

the microprocessor configured to execute stored instructions to:

receive a first actuation of the button at the lighting module;

responsive to the first actuation, display a sequence of display modes by activating the light source of the lighting module;

receive a second actuation of the button at the lighting module; and

responsive to the second actuation, display a selected display mode of the sequences of display modes corresponding to a displayed mode displaying at a time the second actuation was received.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the microprocessor is further configured to execute stored instructions to:

receive a third actuation of the single button at the lighting module; and

responsive to the third actuation, deactivate the lighting module.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the sequence of display modes is a sequence of different color illuminations of the lighting module.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the sequence of display modes is a sequence of different colors and patterns of illumination of the lighting module.

13. The system of claim 10 , wherein the microprocessor that is part of the lighting module receives inputs and produces the sequence of display modes.

14. The system of claim 10 , wherein each display mode of the sequence of display modes is displayed for a standard time period.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the standard time period is between one to five seconds.

16. The system of claim 10 , wherein the lighting module includes an LED, and the LED changes colors and patterns to present the sequence of display modes.

17. A method for selecting a display mode on a lighting module, the lighting module having only a single button, the method comprising:

receiving a first actuation of the single button at the lighting module;

responsive to the first actuation, displaying a sequence of display modes by activating a light of the lighting module;

awaiting a second actuation of the single button and continuing to display the sequence of displays;

receiving the second actuation of the single button at the lighting module; and

responsive to the second actuation, displaying a selected display mode of the sequences of display modes corresponding to a displayed mode displaying at a time the second actuation was received.

18. The method of claim 17 , further comprising:

awaiting a third actuation of the single button and continuing to display the displayed mode displaying at the time the second actuation was received;

receiving the third actuation of the single button at the lighting module; and

responsive to the third actuation, deactivating the lighting module.
