Abstract:
A lighting system and method includes a light module and control module having analog and digital inputs. The control module sends a lighting control output signal to the light module. A mode selector sets a mode of the control module. In a first mode, the lighting control output signal is based on one analog dimming lighting control input signal provided to an analog input. In a second mode, the lighting control output signal is based on dimming and color lighting control input signals provided to two analog inputs. In a third mode, the lighting output control signal is based on a digital lighting control input signal provided to a digital input. In a fourth mode, the control module determines a selected lighting scene based on a scene selection input signal provided to an analog input, and the lighting output signal is based on the selected lighting scene.

Claim (Index 19):
A method of comprising:\n providing a light module; providing a control module coupled to the light module, the control module being operable to receive a plurality of lighting control input signals and to send at least one lighting control output signal to the light module based on at least one of the lighting control input signals, and the lighting control output signal being operable to control at least one of an intensity and color of light emitted by the light module; the control module having a plurality of inputs including at least two analog inputs each adapted to receive an analog lighting control input signal and at least one digital input adapted to receive a digital lighting control input signal; providing a mode selector coupled to the control module, the mode selector being operable to set the control module into any one of at least first, second, third and fourth modes; operating to the mode selector to set the control module to one the first, second, third or fourth modes; wherein in a first mode of the control module the lighting control output signal is based on one analog lighting control input signal provided to one of the two analog inputs where the one analog lighting control input signal is a dimming control signal to selectively control the intensity of the light emitted by the light module, and the control module is operable to send the lighting control output signal to the light module according to the one analog lighting control input signal; wherein in a second mode of the control module the lighting control output signal is based on first and second analog lighting control input signals respectively provided to the two analog inputs where the first analog lighting control input signal is a dimming control signal to selectively control the intensity of the light emitted by the light module and the second analog lighting control input signal is a color selection signal to selectively control the color of the light emitted by the light module, and the control module is operable to send the lighting control output signal to the light module i according to the first lighting control input signal and the second lighting control input signal; wherein in a third mode of the control module the lighting output control signal is based on a digital lighting control input signal provided to the digital input, and the control module is operable to send the lighting control output signal to the light module according to the digital lighting control input signal; and wherein in a fourth mode the control module is operable to receive a lighting scene selection signal provided to one of the two analog inputs and is operable to determine a selected lighting scene according to the lighting scene selection signal, where the selected lighting scene is determined by an algorithm or is selected from among a plurality of predetermined lighting scenes stored in a memory of the lighting module, and the control module is operable to send the lighting control output signal to the light module according to the selected lighting scene.
