The LEDs include a first LED and a second LED. Compared with a reference anode signal, a first anode signal received by the first LED has a first anode signal difference and a second anode signal received by the second LED has a second anode signal difference.

A control device for controlling at least one LED module includes: a power supply module arranged to receive power over Ethernet to generate a first supply power; and an illumination controlling module coupled to the power supply module for receiving a communication signal from the Ethernet to generate a serial bus signal to control an illumination of the at least one LED module; wherein the illumination controlling module is powered by the first supply power.

A two-stage driver supplies current to a light emitting diode (LED) load. The two-stage driver includes a first stage and a second stage. The first stage has a first flyback converter. The first stage is configured to receive a non-regulated voltage input and to generate a substantially constant bulk voltage across a first-stage output filter capacitor. The second stage has a second flyback converter. The second stage is configured to receive the bulk voltage from the first stage. The second stage is further configured to generate a desired current through the LED load. The second stage is electrically isolated from the first stage such that the LED load does not share a common ground reference with the non-regulated voltage input to the first stage.

A system provides for strobing or high conspicuity signaling with vehicle hazard and other lights depending upon inputs and parameters.

An example headlight includes: a multi-segment illumination source comprising: a first illumination source segment; and a second illumination source segment; driver circuitry coupled to the multi-segment illumination source, the driver circuitry comprising: a first driver coupled to the first illumination source segment, the first driver configured to generate a first drive signal to cause the first illumination source segment to produce a first light having a first brightness; and a second driver coupled to the second illumination source segment, the second driver configured to generate a second drive signal to cause the second illumination source segment to produce a second light having a second brightness; and a spatial light modulator (SLM) optically coupled to the multi-segment illumination source, the SLM configured to: receive the first light; modulate the first light to produce first modulated light; receive the second light; and modulate the second light to produce second modulated light.

Disclosed is a rectifierless light string that uses bidirectional LEDs. Each LED is illuminated on both the positive and the negative portion of an AC signal so that the AC signal does not have to be rectified. In addition, LEDs are mounted on LED holder plugs, which are designed to allow the LEDs and bypass resistors to be automatically inserted in the LED holder plug. The LED holder plugs are inserted into a light string socket that contains a shunt switch that provides a conduction path when the LED holder plug is not firmly inserted in the light string socket. In this manner, conduction can occur in the light string when the LED holder plug is dislodged.

The present disclosure relates to a lighting fixture that includes a driver module and at least one other module that provides a lighting fixture function, such as a sensor function, lighting network communication function, gateway function, and the like. The driver module communicates with the other modules in a master/slave scheme over a communication bus. The driver module is configured as a slave communication device, and the other modules are configured as master communication devices. As such, the other modules may initiate communications with the driver to send information to or retrieve information from the driver module.

Driver circuits are described for driving one or more light emitting diodes. A driver circuit may comprise an interface configured to receive control signals from a processor and a signal generator configured to generate pulse modulation (PM) signals based on the control signals, wherein the PM signals define phase shifts. In some examples, the signal generator is configured to: determine whether the control signals indicate a phase shift change; and in response to determining that the control signals indicate a phase shift change, terminate a current PM signal at a beginning of a PM period, and generate a new PM signal in the PM period, wherein the new PM signal includes the phase shift change. In other examples, termination may be avoided in some situations, for example, upon determining that a new phase shift is not sufficiently less than a previous phase shift.
