+<section id="GUID-275E5AC3-0D51-5783-8E3F-DCEE6B37970B"><title>Introduction</title> <p>To
+use the Light API, the client must first create an instance of <xref href="GUID-3B241B7B-C5D3-33AE-9D51-3F3B78530F60.dita"><apiname>CHWRMLight</apiname></xref> class. <xref href="GUID-3B241B7B-C5D3-33AE-9D51-3F3B78530F60.dita"><apiname>CHWRMLight</apiname></xref> can be used in two modes: </p> <ul>
+<li id="GUID-BB6B2D97-C797-5C5C-9CB4-0DA5F7682814"><p>With notify handling. </p> </li>
+<li id="GUID-A22F084E-2204-5589-B664-053EC50DEE0C"><p>Without notify handling. </p> </li>
+</ul> <p>An instance with notify handling is created if the client requires
+up-to-date status information. Else, an instance without a callback pointer
+is created. After an instance is created, lights can be directly controlled
+through the provided class methods. </p> <p>There are three light control
+methods, each with several overloads: </p> <ul>
+<li id="GUID-FE777756-F97C-5B4E-8334-C061FFCC0EBB"><p> <xref href="GUID-3B241B7B-C5D3-33AE-9D51-3F3B78530F60.dita"><apiname>LightOnL()</apiname></xref> to
+turn ON the lights. </p> </li>
+<li id="GUID-FC98BD11-09E2-574D-9A05-5C48B39A6C7E"><p> <xref href="GUID-3B241B7B-C5D3-33AE-9D51-3F3B78530F60.dita"><apiname>LightBlinkL()</apiname></xref> to
+make lights blink. </p> </li>
+<li id="GUID-EA1C4E36-1B59-57AC-B282-91FACF32A3E3"><p> <xref href="GUID-3B241B7B-C5D3-33AE-9D51-3F3B78530F60.dita"><apiname>LightOffL()</apiname></xref> to
+turn OFF the lights. </p> </li>
+</ul> <p>Light intensity can be optionally controlled by the <xref href="GUID-3B241B7B-C5D3-33AE-9D51-3F3B78530F60.dita"><apiname>LightOnL()</apiname></xref> and <xref href="GUID-3B241B7B-C5D3-33AE-9D51-3F3B78530F60.dita"><apiname>LightBlinkL()</apiname></xref> methods. Intensity is controlled
+as a percentage. <xref href="GUID-3B241B7B-C5D3-33AE-9D51-3F3B78530F60.dita"><apiname>KHWRMDefaultIntensity</apiname></xref> can
+use default intensity or ambient light sensor controlled intensity, depending
+on general settings. </p> <p>Light fade can be optionally controlled by the <xref href="GUID-3B241B7B-C5D3-33AE-9D51-3F3B78530F60.dita"><apiname>LightOnL()</apiname></xref> and <xref href="GUID-3B241B7B-C5D3-33AE-9D51-3F3B78530F60.dita"><apiname>LightOffL()</apiname></xref> methods.
+Fade simply means that lights are turned ON or OFF over a short period of
+time with multiple gradual intensity changes instead of single instant change. </p> <p> <b>Note</b>:
+All devices do not support this functionality. The current status of any light
+target can be obtained with the <xref href="GUID-3B241B7B-C5D3-33AE-9D51-3F3B78530F60.dita"><apiname>LightStatus()</apiname></xref> method. </p> <p>All
+control methods require at least a target mask as a parameter. Devices can
+have multiple independent lights, called targets, such as device primary display
+light or keyboard light. All devices do not support all possible light targets.
+Supported targets may be queried with the <xref href="GUID-3B241B7B-C5D3-33AE-9D51-3F3B78530F60.dita"><apiname>SupportedTargets()</apiname></xref> method. </p> <p>All
+control methods accept optional duration parameter also. Any infinite duration
+call sets session base light state for targets it affects. This base state
+is what the target is set to when any duration timer affecting it expires.
+If there are no infinite duration calls for a target session, any timer expiry
+for that target sets the target to the default state (which is either ON or
+OFF), depending on the device inactivity time and the inactivity time-limit
+defined by general settings. </p> <p>Each target can have only one duration
+timer. Hence, if a target with ongoing timer is issued with new orders, the
+ongoing timer is cancelled and a new one is set. </p><p>Using Light API, you
+can perform any of the tasks listed in the Procedure section.</p> </section>
