    Abstract: A uniform luminance light-emitting diode (LED) circuit board includes a first primary trace and a second primary trace mounted on a substrate along a direction and are spaced apart, multiple LED strings mounted on the substrate along the direction and parallelly connected between the first primary trace and the second primary trace, a first power trace and a second power trace respectively connected to the first primary trace and the second primary trace, and a first auxiliary trace with two ends respectively connected to the second primary trace and the second power trace. By adjusting trace widths of the first primary trace and the second primary trace to limit current passing through each LED string and using the first auxiliary trace to provide an additional current path, identical current flowing through all the LED strings results in uniform luminance of the LED strings.

    Abstract: An article and circuit that controllably dims a luminaire, for example without controlling a line power of the luminaire. The luminaire includes a traditional three-contact socket to receive a photocontroller, such as that used for street lights. The article uses a desired dimming control signal to provide an output control signal that controls whether the light source in the luminaire is turned ON or turned OFF to thereby effect the desired amount of dimming. The output control signal may be a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal with a duty cycle that is related to the desired level of illumination or dimming. The system may use a dimming signal from a five or seven contact dimming photocontroller to provide such an output control signal to control the light-level for the luminaire.
