Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
There is described a system and method for controlling the intensity of a lighting system for vehicles comprising light emitting diodes mounted on printed circuit boards (PCBs). The method comprises sending a first modulation signal to the lighting modules from a master controller upon detection of a presence of power from a power source by the master controller; and sending a second modulation signal to the lighting modules from the master controller upon detection of an absence of power from a power source by the master controller. The first modulation signal corresponds to a first LED intensity and the second modulation signal corresponds to a second LED intensity lower than the first light intensity.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A lighting system connected to a power source, the lighting system comprising: lighting modules connected end-to-end and forming a row having a first line end a second line end, each lighting modules comprising light emitting diodes (LEDS); and a master controller electrically connected to the first line end, the master controller adapted to being powered by the power source, the master controller being operative to control an intensity of the LEDs b…
