Ornamental Lighting

摘要

Enhancements to ornamental or holiday lighting are disclosed including remote control ornamental illumination with color pallet control whereby a user can vary the color/intensity/appearance of an individual bulb or entire light string by selecting the electronic address of the bulb and selecting its attribute. Further disclosures include: motion responsive lights which respond to sensed movement, gesture controlled lights, adjustable white color/white led sets, connectable multi-function lights, controller to sequence lights to music or other input source, rotating projection led light/tree top/table top unit, and remote controlled sequencing icicle lights and ornament lighting system.

1. In an ornamental lighting system with a plurality of connected LED lamps, a method of controlling the perceived color temperature of the lamps comprising:
a. on at least one lamp, locating a warm white LED near to a cool white LED; b. varying the apparent intensity of one of said LEDs relative to the other by selecting from one of the following by a human gesture motion adjacent a motion sensor causing:
1. increasing the actual light intensity of one LED relative to the other until the desired color temperature is perceived;2. increasing the on-time of one LED relative to the other until the desired color temperature is perceived;3. ramping up the intensity of one LED while ramping down the other LED relative thereto, until the desired color temperature is perceived;4. flashing one LED with a longer on-time than the other LED until the desired color temperature is perceived;5. flashing one LED while maintaining the other LED constantly on so and adjusting the flashing rate of said one LED until the desired color temperature is perceived
