Abstract:
An illumination device, system and method are provided herein for emulating sunlight along a daytime or nighttime locus. Sunlight is emulated depending on the path length of the sun relative to a structure containing the illumination device and system. One or more illumination devices can be grouped together and perform the sunlight emulation along the locus by producing different color temperatures throughout the day by all illumination devices within that group producing the same color temperature changes throughout the day. Moreover, a particular advantage of the preferred embodiments is the ability to manually change at any time the emulated natural sunlight output from the one or more groups of illumination devices and advantageously change the color output more so at certain times than at other times by simply actuating a trigger on a dimmer associated with a virtual or physical keypad.

Claim (Index 1):
An illumination device, comprising:\n a plurality of light emitting diodes (LED); a driver circuit coupled to the plurality of LEDs; a control module coupled to the driver circuit, said control module comprising:\n an interface coupled to receive an intensity; \n a storage medium comprising a first mapping of intensity to brightness, and a second mapping of color temperature as a function of time of day and brightness; and \n a controller configured to:\n receive the intensity from the interface, wherein the intensity comprises a change from a first intensity to a second intensity; \n use the first mapping from the storage medium to calculate a brightness based on the second intensity; \n use the second mapping from the storage medium to calculate a color temperature as a function of the time of day and the calculated brightness; and \n control the driver circuit to adjust respective intensities of the one or more of the plurality of LEDs to produce the color temperature and the calculated brightness in response to the received intensity; \n \n wherein to adjust respective intensities of one or more of the plurality of LEDs based on the change from the first intensity to the second intensity at a first time of day as compared to a second time of day comprises to produce a greater change in the color temperature at the first time of day than the second time of day.
