Abstract

An illumination system comprising a light source including a linear array of color variable light emitting elements; a power supply coupled to the array; and a power regulating circuit, coupled between the power supply and the array, effective to activate the light emitting elements to emit light in accordance with a color profile that varies as a function of location on at least a portion of the array. In a specific implementation, the invention includes a camera or other sensor for detecting ambient lighting conditions. This enables the system to adjust the array to achieve ambient lighting conditions in accordance with user preferences or profile. In yet another embodiment, lighting conditions at a remote location at a specific time are sensed by a smartphone camera or other device and coupled to the power regulating circuit for use in adjusting the array to achieve a match of ambient lighting to that or a remote location and time, subject to user adjustments, profile and/or preferences. In the best mode, user commands are entered via a smartphone or via voice using a virtual assistant.
