| Title: |
Tile Lighting Methods and Systems |
| Abstract: |
A tile lighting system is provided in which an interior space of a tile is
lit by LEDs, such as in a grid or edge-lit formation, and a light
diffusing panel is disposed over the interior space. The tile lighting
system can be combined with others to tile any surface, such as a floor,
ceiling, wall, or building exterior. Lighting control signals can be
supplied to generate a wide range of effects on the tile lighting units,
including effects coordinated among different tile lighting units. Two-
and three-dimensional embodiments are contemplated.
