Abstract

An illuminating system includes a power source, an on/off switch, an examining module, an illuminating module and a master module. The power source supplies power. The on/off switch switches on or switches off the power from the power source. The examining module detects whether the on/off switch is switched off and whether the on/off switch's switched-off state lasts over a predetermined time interval. In addition, the examining module generates an adjust signal corresponding to a result of detecting the on/off switch. The illuminating module includes a plurality of illuminating elements. The master module adjusts a total current forwarded to and current ratios among the plurality of illuminating elements according to the adjust signal.
