| Title: |
Automated Lighting Control System utilizing Laser and Non-Laser Light Sources |
| Abstract: |
An energy emission system is provided having both multiple laser outputs
and multiple light or lamp outputs. The laser outputs may be aligned so
that once they are active, they are directed to strike targets located
distal from the lamps and lasers. By configuring the lasers at known
positions relative to the lights, the lights can subsequently be activated
so that their outputs are aligned with the laser beams. The laser beams
therefore serve to aim the lights and specifically, the light outputs upon
an isolated target area. Using the lasers to align the lights avoids
having to activate the lights to effectuate their alignment, resulting in
increased light longevity and providing more accurate alignments in
lighted ambient conditions. A controller can be used to control multiple
lasers and lights. Data from the lasers can be used to control colors,
shapes, and positions of lights using a memory coupled to the controller.
