    摘要: A controllable lighting device may utilize a controllable impedance circuit to conduct a load current through an LED light source. The controllable impedance circuit may be coupled in series with a first switching device, which may be rendered conductive and non-conductive via a pulse-width modulated signal to adjust an average magnitude of the load current. The controllable lighting device may further comprise a control loop circuit that includes a second switching device. The second switching device may be rendered conductive and non-conductive in coordination with the first switching device to control when a feedback signal is provided to the control loop circuit and used to control the LED light source. The control loop circuit may be characterized by a time constant that is significantly greater than an operating period of the load current.

    摘要: Light-emitting diode (LED) arrays, and more particularly high power LED arrays and related devices are disclosed. Exemplary lighting devices with arrangements of LED chips and/or lumiphoric materials are capable of dynamically providing different color points and/or light outputs. Devices include individually controllable LED chips arranged on a common submount that may include integrated control circuitry for controlling operation of the LED chips. LED chips may be arranged to form sub-arrays of like-colored LED chips and corresponding electrical connections may include one or more shared electrical contacts. Certain aspects relate to arrangements where electrical connections are provided on opposite faces of submounts from the LED chips such that an increased density of LED chips may be arranged along primary emission faces. Applications for such high-power LED arrays and related devices include various color-changing lighting fixtures with high light output that may benefit from dynamic spectral tuning with improved precision.
