Patent Number: 9041308 
Title: Systems and Methods of Controlling the Output of a Light Fixture 
Abstract:

Systems and methods of controlling the output of a light fixture. The light fixture includes a plurality of light sources and a controller. The controller is configured to receive a first input control value for a first control parameter and a first input control value for a second control parameter. The controller is also configured to determine a first difference between the first input control value for the first control parameter and a second input control value for the first control parameter stored in a memory and determine a second difference between the first input control value for the second control parameter and a second input control value for the second control parameter stored in the memory. The controller is also configured to set a slew time based on the first determined difference when the first determined difference is greater than the second determined difference and based on the second determined difference when the second determined difference is greater than the first determined difference.
