    摘要: A method of controlling a light driver includes determining, by a secondary controller of the light driver, an actual voltage drop across a regulator of the light driver; determining, by the secondary controller, a target voltage drop of the regulator; calculating, by the secondary controller, a theoretical input voltage of the regulator based on the target voltage drop and an output voltage of the regulator; determining, by the secondary controller, whether the theoretical input voltage is within a first range; and in response to determining that the theoretical input voltage is within the first range, generating, by the secondary controller, a first feedback signal for transmission to a primary controller of the light driver based on the target voltage drop and the actual voltage drop.

    摘要: A method of driving a light source by a light driver includes measuring a current output signal of the light driver, calculating a percent change in output signal, determining whether the percent change in output signal is greater than or equal to a first threshold, and in response to determining that the percent change in the output signal is greater than or equal to the first threshold, calculating a percent change in reference voltage based on a current reference voltage and a previous reference voltage, determining whether the percent change in reference voltage is less than a second threshold, and in response to determining that the percent change in reference voltage is less than the second threshold, deactivating filtering and averaging of a dimmer signal received from a dimmer for a period of time, and reactivating the filtering and the averaging of the dimmer signal.
