| Title: |
System and Method for Controlling a Plurality of Light Fixture Outputs |
| Abstract: |
A method of controlling a plurality of light fixtures. The method
includes detecting the light outputs of a plurality of light fixtures and
detecting a reflection of light from a surface. The light outputs and the
reflection of light are analyzed. Differences among the light outputs of
the plurality of light fixtures are determined, and a difference between
the reflection of light and a desired reflection of light is determined.
New or updated values for output color, output brightness, and/or output
spectra are determined for the plurality of light fixtures such that the
light outputs of the light fixtures are consistent and correspond to a
desired light output, and such that the reflection of light corresponds
to the desired reflection of light. Each of the plurality of light
fixtures is then driven using respective light source output values to
produce the desired light outputs.
