`ABSTRACT
`( 57 )
`An illuminating device coupled with sensors or an image
`acquisition device and a logical controller allows illumina
`tion intensity and spectrum to be varied according to chang
`ing user needs . The system provides illumination to areas
`according to the principles of correct lighting practice for the
`optimal performance of visual tasks in the most efficient ,
`cost effective manner . Aspects of the invention include :
`lighting fixtures which adapt to ambient lighting , movement ,
`visual tasks being performed , and environmental and per
`sonal conditions affecting illumination requirements at any
`given instant . Lighting fixtures having spatial distribution of
`spectrum and intensity , providing both “ background ” room
`lighting , and “ task ” lighting .
