The invention relates to a lighting system for at least one light-emitting means (), in particular for light-emitting diodes, comprising a light fixture (), in which the light-emitting means () and mechanical components like a housing, cooling element, reflector, etc. are located; comprising a convertor () for operating the light-emitting means (); comprising an operating unit () having a charge storage (), like a smart phone, for example, for changing a mode of operation of the lighting system (), wherein in a first mode of operation, light is emitted across a first light exit surface by the lighting system (), and in a second mode of operation, light is emitted across a second light exit surface, wherein the first light exit surface and the second light exit surface have different light emission characteristics.

Lighting system for changing the emission characteristics operating in at least a first mode and a second mode and comprising LEDS, a converter, and an operating unit

The invention relates to a building equipment-based communication system () comprising at least one building equipment-based device as a master unit (), in particular a light fixture, to which at least one slave unit (), in particular a sensor and/or actuator, can be connected via a network, preferably in a wireless manner; the slave unit () is designed to communicate with the master unit () via the network connection either directly or indirectly by way of other slave units (); and the master unit () is designed to send, via a communication interface (), information received from the at least one slave unit ().

Building equipment-based communication system

Operating device (A) for a luminous means, the operating device having at least one driver circuit for operating at least one luminous means (Last), an energy store (Cbulk) which supplies the driver circuit, a power factor correction circuit which is in the form of a boost converter, supplies the energy store (Cbulk) and has a storage inductor (Lb), an actively clocked switch (S) and a rectifier diode (D), wherein the storage inductor (Lb) has a secondary winding which is arranged in such a manner that said winding is magnetically coupled to the primary winding of the storage inductor (Lb) and is connected in series with a coupling capacitor.

Operating device with power factor correction and ripple limitation by change in operation

The invention relates to a method for defining an operational parameter of an operational device for lighting means. According to the method,: a voltage supply of the operational device is preferably switched on/off manually, an on/off switching is evaluated by the operational device as to whether at least one first predetermined criterion is fulfilled, for example, time constants or repetition rates, in this is the case, a continuous, preferably cyclic change of the predetermined operational parameters is switched on by the operational device, the changed operational parameter is returned to the user directly or indirectly, optically and/or acoustically, and the actual value of the changed operational parameters is maintained at a moment in time for a subsequent operation of the lighting means to which an additional on/off switching of the voltage supply fulfills at least one second criterion.
