Abstract
A light fixture includes an array of light-emitting elements for generating light from the light fixture, and the array of light-emitting elements includes a defined sub-array of light-emitting elements. An alternate array of light-emitting elements is coupled in parallel with the defined sub-array of alternate light-emitting elements of the light emitter. Each of the sub-array and the alternate array are coupled with a respective switch element. A control circuit is coupled with the switch elements and configured for selectively switching power between the sub-array and the alternate array for modulating the operation of the sub-array and alternate array of light-emitting elements to generate modulated communication signals.
