| Title: |
Dimmable LED-Based MR16 Lighting Apparatus and Methods |
| Abstract: |
Methods and apparatus for providing controllable power via an A.C. power
source to LED-based lighting devices having an MR16 configuration. In one
example, LED-based MR16 lighting devices may be coupled to A.C. power
circuits that are controlled by conventional dimmers (i.e, "A.C. dimmer
circuits"). In yet other aspects, one or more parameters relating to the
light generated by LED-based light sources (e.g., intensity, color, color
temperature, temporal characteristics, etc.) may be conveniently
controlled via operation of a conventional A.C. dimmer and/or other
signals present on the A.C. power circuit.
