Solid state light emitter devices and methods are provided. A solid state light emitter device can include a submount having an upper surface and a bottom surface. At least first pair and a second pair of electrically conductive contacts can be disposed on the bottom surface of the submount. The first pair of contacts can be electrically independent from the second pair of contacts. The device can further include multiple light emitters provided on the upper surface of the submount. The multiple light emitters can be configured into at least a first light emitter zone that is electrically independent from a second light emitter zone upon electrical communication to a respective pair of contacts.
