Patent ID: 8063906

Claim:
A stage lighting apparatus comprising: a communications port; a processor; a memory; a lamp housing; a base housing; and a plurality of light emitting diodes including a first light emitting diode including a first color, a second light emitting diode including a second color, and a third light emitting diode including a third color, wherein the first color, the second color and the third color are different from each other; wherein the lamp housing is remotely positionable in relation to the base housing; wherein a plurality of graphical content programs, each comprised of a plurality of frames of data, are stored in the memory; and wherein the processor is programmed to select a first frame of data of a plurality of frames of data of a first graphical content program of the plurality of graphical content programs if a first DMX value supplied by an operator of a theatrical control system on a first DMX channel is within a first range of DMX values, and the processor is programmed to use the first frame of data to cause: the first light emitting diode to be illuminated to a first percent illumination; the second light emitting diode to be illuminated to a second percent illumination; and the third light emitting diode to be illuminated to a third percent illumination; wherein the first percent illumination, the second percent illumination, and the third percent illumination are different from each other; and wherein the processor is programmed to select a second frame of data of the plurality of frames of data of the first graphical content program of the plurality of graphical content programs if the first DMX value supplied by the operator of the theatrical control system on the first DMX channel is within a second range of DMX values, wherein the first range is different from the second range, the second frame of data is different from the first frame of data, and the processor is programmed to use the second frame of data to cause: the first LED to be illuminated to a fourth percent illumination; the second LED to be illuminated to a fifth percent illumination; and a third light emitting diode to be illuminated to a sixth percent illumination; and wherein the fourth percent illumination, the fifth percent illumination, and the sixth percent illumination are different from each other.
