LED DRIVER AND LIGHTING SYSTEM USING THE SAME
A LED driver having a current sensing resistor arrangement with two parallel current sensing branches, each comprising at least two series resistors connected at a respective sensing node. The voltages at the two sensing nodes are processed to detect a component failure. The normal current control is based on the voltage across the overall resistor arrangement.
LOAD CONTROL DEVICE HAVING MISWIRE DETECTION
A load control device for controlling an amount of power delivered from an alternating-current (AC) power source to an electrical load may be configured to determine if a miswire condition exists at the load control device. For example, a control circuit of the load control device may be configured to detect a hot-to-dimmed-hot miswire condition in which a dimmed-hot terminal may be coupled to a hot side of the AC power source and a hot terminal may be coupled to the electrical load. In addition, the control circuit may be configured to detect a neutral-to-accessory-terminal miswire condition in which the hot terminal may be coupled to the hot side of the AC power source and an accessory terminal may be coupled to a neutral side of the AC power source. The control circuit may maintain a controllably conductive device non-conductive in response to determining that one of the miswire condition exists.
MOTOR VEHICLE AUXILIARY LIGHTING CONTROL SYSTEMS AND METHODS
A vehicle lighting system includes a rotatable, depressible, rotary dimmer switch with a light emitting diode ring indicator and a vehicle lighting controller. The vehicle lighting controller controls the operation of at least a first lighting circuit and a second lighting circuit.
