METHOD FOR CONTROLLING OPERATION OF A LIGHTING SYSTEM HAVING HIGH INTENSITY NARROW SPECTRUM LIGHT SOURCES

Abstract:

A method for controlling operation of a lighting system is provided. The method includes operating the lighting system in a first mode during a time period to provide a first light output. The first output can be a blend of HINS light and non-HINS light. The method includes determining a dosage amount of HINS light provided during the time period. Furthermore, the method includes operating the lighting system in a second mode to provide a second lighting output. The second light output can be HINS light or a blend of HINS light and non-HINS light. Furthermore, spectral energy associated with HINS light in the second light output is greater than spectral energy associated with the HINS light in the first light output.
