| Title: |
Solid-State Light Emitter Lighting Apparatus and Method of Operating the Same |
| Abstract: |
Provided are a solid-state lighting apparatus composed of a plurality of solid-state lighting units and a method of operating the same. Each solid-state lighting unit includes inter-unit communication modules, each module located on a corresponding side of the solid-state lighting unit and configured to communicate with an inter-unit communication module of a corresponding adjacent lighting unit connected to the lighting unit on the corresponding side. Each inter-unit communication module includes: a presence detector for detecting presence of the corresponding adjacent lighting unit; a presence indicator for indicating presence of a lighting unit to the corresponding adjacent lighting unit; an optical transceiver for communicating with corresponding optical transceivers in the corresponding adjacent lighting units. The solid-state lighting apparatus is operable to work in either a synchronous or a chain-effect mode. The invention allows flexible combination and convenient installation/rearrangement of lighting equipment to satisfy requirements for different lighting areas and working modes. |
