Abstract

See full text

A room lighting control system which controls the electrical power supplied to the artificial lighting in an area based on the ambient light available. A photocell controlled digital lamp dimming circuit with particularly high stability for time and temperature is combined with a slow response time to avoid short term adjustments. A digital counter is used to determine a large number of steps over the adjustment range and the driving clock operates at a very low frequency, so that changes in light level take a relatively long time, and it takes an exceptionally long time to span the entire adjustment range.
