Inside of Kitchen Cabinets, Wardrobes and the like can be Lit, preferably with LED Bars under or over the Shelves and or Cabinet walls. But powering said Bars by cabling requires boring holes in the cabinet to run cables, uses space and moving lit shelves easily inside the cabinet is difficult. One Solution is use of Power Band(s), with one, two, three or more Exposed power carrying Traces over said Cabinet wall(s), touched firmly by conductive Springs installed at one or both ends of each Bar to transmit power from to LED on same Bar. One end of said coil or strip Springs is attached to the Bar and another free to touch and press upon said Traces which are connected to and carry electricity from a power source. Easier lifting of LED and Lenses, easy fixing of Linear LED Bars to Dry Walls are also proposed.

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.

A light source module is switchable between a high beam and a low beam, and is mounted on a vehicle. A first light source is arranged such that its output light is irradiated to a low-beam region by a first optical system. A second light source is arranged such that its output light is irradiated to a high-beam region by a second optical system. A lighting circuit supplies a driving current to the first light source in response to a turn-on instruction for either the high beam or the low beam. Furthermore, the lighting circuit supplies the output current to the second light source in response to a turn-on instruction for the high beam.
