    Abstract: A single solid state luminaire product is field-configurable to a plurality of discrete coordinated color temperature (CCT) and maximum luminosity settings. A field-actuated control circuit controls a current ratio control circuit, which directs drive current from a power supply to selected ones, or in selected ratios to multiple ones, of heterogeneous LED strings. The control circuit may also control the power supply, to select an overall maximum level of drive current, which determines the maximum luminosity of the luminaire. In one embodiment, inputs to the field-actuated control circuit are input from exterior to the luminaire product packaging. Embodiments allow a distributor to order and stock a large inventory of substantially identical luminaires from the manufacturer, yet still offer customers a variety of different CCT and maximum luminosity products.
