Abstract:
A light fixture can include a lighting circuit comprising at least one light source and at least one discrete component. The light fixture can also include a power supply coupled to the lighting circuit, where the power supply provides a setting current to the at least one light source. The light fixture can further include a sensor that measures the setting current flowing to the at least one light source. The light fixture can also include a controller coupled to the power supply and the sensor, where the controller provides, in real time, a setting current correction signal to the power supply to adjust the setting current delivered to the at least one light source. The setting current correction signal can be calibrated to an actual value of the at least one discrete component of the lighting circuit.

Claim (Index 1):
A light fixture, comprising:\n at least one light source; at least one discrete component, wherein each of the at least one discrete component has an actual value within a range of error relative to a nominal value; a power supply coupled to the at least one light source, wherein the power supply comprises a feedback circuit and a current generator, wherein the current generator of the power supply provides a setting current to the at least one light source; a sensor that takes a plurality of measurements of a plurality of setting currents flowing to the at least one light source; and a controller coupled to the feedback circuit, the current generator, and the sensor, wherein the controller:\n receives the plurality of measurements made by the sensor, wherein each measurement of the plurality of measurements corresponds to an unaltered setting current generated by the power supply; \n evaluates the plurality of measurements relative to the corresponding unaltered setting currents; \n generates a setting current correction curve based on evaluating the plurality of measurements relative to the corresponding unaltered setting currents; \n determines, in real time and based on the setting current correction curve, an altered setting current level; and \n provides, in real time, a setting current correction signal to the feedback circuit of the power supply, \n wherein the power supply generates and delivers, based on the setting current correction signal, the altered setting current level to the at least one light source, wherein the altered setting current level is substantially the same as a target setting current, wherein the setting current correction curve corrects for the actual value of the at least one discrete component.
