A lighting apparatus includes a bridge circuit, a current source, a first LED module, a second LED module and a switch. The bridge circuit is used for rectifying an input AC power to generate a DC power. The current source receives the DC power to generate a driving current. The first LED module emits a first light of a first color temperature. The second LED module emits a second light of a second color temperature. The switch is coupled to the current source to change at least a resistance parameter corresponding to a current ratio between the first LED module and the second LED module to generate a mixed light of a mixed color temperature.

A substrate for an LED emitter includes a body with a recess region formed therein. Bonding pads are disposed within the recess region, including LED bonding pads for LEDs and supporting chip bonding pads for one or more semiconductor chips that provide supporting circuitry (e.g., driver and/or controller circuitry) to support operation of the LEDs. External electrical contacts can be disposed outside the recess region. Electrical paths, disposed at least partially within the body of the substrate, connect the external electrical contacts to a first subset of the supporting chip bonding pads and connect a second subset of the supporting chip bonding pads to the plurality of LED bonding pads such that one or more supporting chips connected to the controller pads can be operated to deliver different operating currents to different ones of the LEDs.

The invention provides a method for operating an automotive lighting device including the providing a first preliminary current profile, calculating a first preliminary derating time associated to the first preliminary current profile, providing a second preliminary current profile, calculating a second preliminary derating time associated to the second preliminary current profile, feeding the first light module with a first current profile which provides a total amount of current lower than the first preliminary amount of current, and feeding the second light module with a second current profile which provides a total amount of current higher than the second preliminary amount of current.

The present disclosure relates to an intelligent and healthy lighting method and device for an office space micro environment. According to the present disclosure, high-illuminance light can be provided, according to periodic variations of human rhythms and characteristics of office time (i.e., lighting time control data), in the morning to increase rhythmic stimulation to improve alertness of office staff and working efficiency. In addition, the present disclosure effectively solves the problem that conventional lamps cannot meet the requirements of human rhythm health by setting a lighting method having multiple modes (i.e., an awake mode, a rest mode, a relax mode, a work mode, a night mode, and a silence mode) and multiple scenes (i.e., determining a lighting mode according to ambient light data, lighting time control data, and human posture data).
