Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes receiving, using a user interface element associated with an adjustable task-lighting module, a user input representing a selected illumination beam pattern for light emitted by the adjustable task-lighting module. The method also includes determining, based on the user input, a control voltage. Thereafter, the method includes controlling an adjustable voltage source associated with the adjustable task-lighting module to provide the determined control voltage to a configurable liquid-crystal element of the adjustable task-lighting module to configure the adjustable task-lighting module to emit light having the selected illumination beam pattern.
