Programmable Lighting Device And Method And System For Programming Lighting Device

Patent No. EP3554198 (titled "Programmable Lighting Device And Method And System For Programming Lighting Device") was filed by Signify Holding on Aug 19, 2014. The application was issued on Apr 7, 2021.

Patent Summary

A programmable lighting device comprises at least one light source, a power stage for supplying power from an external source, a controller, a nonvolatile memory, and a near field communication (NFC) device. The NFC device receives radio frequency (RF) signals to communicate operating parameters and configuration settings, which it stores in the nonvolatile memory. Crucially, the NFC device generates a supply voltage from the RF signal to power the nonvolatile memory (and optionally the controller) during storage. Configuration settings identify an active dimming interface from multiple available options. Operating parameters include output current, variable startup time, current-increase intervals, temperature thresholds for current reduction, end-of-life signal triggers, and automatic dimming time settings.
