Abstract (en)
An approach for controlling operation of a first light source (240a) of a first color and a second light source (240b) of a second color is provided, the approach comprising receiving an input control signal having a user-controllable duration, switching, in response to a single input control signal having the overall duration not exceeding a first predetermined threshold, the first and second light sources (240a, 240b) on or off, and changing characteristics of light provided by the first and second light sources (240a, 240b) in response to the duration of an input control signal exceeding a second predetermined threshold that is no smaller than the first predetermined threshold, the change in characteristics being dependent on duration of the input control signal and the change comprising adjustment of the ratio between the light intensities of the first light source (240a) and the second light source (240b).
