LED EMULATION OF INCANDESCENT BULB BRIGHTNESS AND COLOR RESPONSE TO VARYING POWER INPUT AND DIMMER CIRCUIT THEREFOR

摘要

A lighting system is disclosed. The lighting system includes a first lighting module and a second lighting module connected parallel to the first lighting module. The first lighting module generates light at a first color temperature and the second lighting module generates light at a second color temperature. The first lighting module has a first activation voltage and the second lighting module has a second activation voltage. The two lighting modules generate light when the current flow through them. When input voltage is changed, not only does the amount of current flowing through the two modules change, but also ratio of the amount of current flowing through the two lighting modules changes. The change in the ratio changes the color temperature of the light produced by the lighting system which is a combination of the light produced by the two modules.
