    摘要: A solid state lighting device may include a power supply, a light emitting device, and a boost converter. The boost converter may have an input node electrically coupled to the power supply and an output node with the light emitting device electrically coupled between the output node and a reference node. The boost converter may include a switch electrically coupled in a current shunting path between the input node and the reference node, and a controller. The switch may be configured to shunt current from the power supply around the light emitting device. The controller may be configured to generate a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal to control a duty cycle of the switch to provide a pulse width modulated electrical current through the switch and a continuous electrical current through the light emitting device. Related methods are also discussed.

    摘要: A lighting apparatus may include a plurality of light emitting devices, a temperature sensor, and a compensation circuit. The plurality of light emitting devices may include a first light emitting device configured to emit light having a first chromaticity, a second light emitting device configured to emit light having a second chromaticity different than the first chromaticity, and a third light emitting device configured to emit light having the second chromaticity. Moreover, the first, second, and third light emitting devices may be electrically coupled in series. The temperature sensor may be configured to generate a temperature sense signal responsive to heat generated by at least one of the plurality of light emitting devices. The compensation circuit may be coupled to the third light emitting device, with the compensation circuit being configured to vary a level of electrical current through the third light emitting device relative to the electrical current through the first and second light emitting devices responsive to the temperature sense signal. Related methods are also discussed.
