| Title: |
Multicolored LED Lighting Method and Apparatus |
| Abstract: |
The systems and methods described herein relate to LED systems capable of
generating light, such as for illumination or display purposes. The
light-emitting LEDs may be controlled by a processor to alter the
brightness and/or color of the generated light, e.g., by using pulse-width
modulated signals. Thus, the resulting illumination may be controlled by a
computer program to provide complex, predesigned patterns of light in
virtually any environment.
