Refer to Fig. 2, multiple light fixture 300 will be discussed in detail.Each light fixture 300 can send polychromatic light, and namely polychromatic light comprises two or more wavelength, the light be therefore made up of two or more colors.For generation of heterogeneous light light fixture and the more details producing heterogeneous light method, can be US13/107 at application number, the U.S. Patent application of 928 and application number are US61/643, find in the United States Patent (USP) provisional application of 308, and the two is all incorporated to this case above in reference mode.Some light fixtures can produce the light of multiple types, comprise wider colour gamut, stronger or more weak color intensity, etc.
As noted before, computer apparatus 200 selectively controls each light fixture 300.When light fixture 300 is controlled, then emission source light 304.The source light that each light fixture 300 is launched can have the lateral propagation 306 of given rate.The speed of lateral propagation 306 can be described as the speed of source light 304 towards the spatial expansion in the longitudinal axis 308 direction away from source light 304.Each light fixture 300 has equal lateral propagation 306 speed, or some, or all light fixtures 300 can have lateral propagation 306 speed different from other light fixtures 300.In addition, light fixture 300 is by deploying to form array 302, and as depicted in fig. 1, often adjacent two light fixtures 300 can be separated by an offset or dish 310.Ratio between lateral propagation speed 306 between offset or dish 310 and adjacent light fixture 300 can determine a combined distance 312.Combined distance 312 can be defined as a distance of the longitudinal axis 308 along light fixture 300, and the source light 304 of the first light fixture 300 is overlapping with the source light 304 of the second light fixture 300 over this distance.In the present embodiment, the first light fixture 300 and the second light fixture 300 vicinity mutually.Outside combined distance 312, the overlap of the source light 304 of two or more light fixture 300 can be defined as combined light 314.Offset or dish 310, lateral propagation speed 306, or the two can be configured to formation combined distance 312.Combined distance 312 is generally less than the distance of the eye-level display of general viewers.In addition, the offset or dish 310 between adjacent two light fixtures can be identical, also can be change.In addition, the longitudinal axis 308 that each light fixture 300 defines can be parallel to each other, intersects or oblique.In further embodiments, some or all of light fixture 300 by realizing the electric, machinery, magnetic of this type games or other machineries or system is reorientated or rotating lamp 300, thus can change their offset or dish 310 or the angle of their longitudinal axis 308.In addition, these motions also can be controlled by computer apparatus 200, and computer apparatus 200 also can change the source light 304 of the light fixture 300 of movement to compensate its motion.
In addition, in certain embodiments, each of multiple light fixture 300 can be controlled to luminescence, and this light has the spectrum opposition of increase.Be appreciated that in the art, the specific wavelength of light suppresses relevant with observer to the epiphysin of light.Suppress relevant more information at application number US13/652, can to find in the U.S. Patent application of 207 with epiphysin, this U.S. Patent application is hereinbefore to be incorporated to this case with reference to mode.In addition, increase spectrum opposition, particularly general blue light opposition, known can be used for, reduces the suppression to epiphysin.
Therefore, in certain embodiments, computer apparatus 200 can be programmed to control at least one light fixture 300 and be gone luminescence.The spectral power distribution of this light can increase spectrum opposition, reduces the suppression to epiphysin with this.Further, computer apparatus 200 can be programmed to control multiple light fixture 300 and be gone luminescence.The spectral power distribution of this light can reduce the light intensity that can suppress the wavelength of epiphysin from the largest light intensity corresponding with wavelength.Such as, computer apparatus 200 can control at least one light fixture 300 and go luminescence, the light intensity of described light is not more than wavelength is the largest light intensity of about 440nm about 45%, light intensity be not more than that wavelength is the largest light intensity of about 460nm about 53%, light intensity be not more than that wavelength is the largest light intensity of about 480nm about 75%, light intensity be not more than that wavelength is the largest light intensity of about 560nm about 77%, light intensity be not more than that wavelength is the largest light intensity of about 580nm about 74%, light intensity be not more than that wavelength is the largest light intensity of about 600nm about 71%.Computer apparatus 200 can utilize any known method in this area to reduce light intensity on above-mentioned wavelength, includes but not limited to pulse width modulation.

In addition, combined light 314 has other selected photocurrent versus light intensities, such as dyeability, illumination intensity, color rendering index (CRI), colour temperature, and other photocurrent versus light intensities.Such as, combined light 314 can be the white light of luminous intensity probably between 100-2600 lumen.Also can be CRI the chances are 50 or more white light, or be the white light within the scope of the general 2000-25000 Kelvin of colour temperature, or above combination in any.More specifically, the color of combined light 314 to select, and combined light 314 can form a metameride, and the appearance color of light causes by merging the spectral power distribution forming the source light 304 of combined light 314.The selection of these photocurrent versus light intensities is only example, and unrestricted, and other of each characteristic of light are selected to be expection, and are included in protection scope of the present invention.
As mentioned above, computer apparatus 200 can control each light fixture 300.In addition, computer apparatus 200 can be configured to control each light fixture 300 and remove to launch the source light 304 comprising one or more selected wavelength.
The source light that each light fixture 300 sends can comprise dominant wavelength, and described dominant wavelength can drop on and be considered in the wave-length coverage of visible spectrum.More specifically, dominant wavelength can be in about 390-about 750 nanometer range.Dominant wavelength can determine the color of light 304 substantially.Dominant wavelength can be white light or non-white light.
The color of the source light 304 of light fixture 300 can be assigned to light fixture 300 by computer apparatus 200.Computer apparatus 200 can control light fixture 300 according to light scene as mentioned above.More specifically, computer apparatus 200 can determine that light fixture 300 will show a part of light scene, and control light fixture 300 and go to show that a part of light scene, reappear the photocurrent versus light intensity of that a part of light scene, photocurrent versus light intensity comprises as illumination intensity, dyeability, and other can the characteristic that controls by operation light fixture 300.
