Abstract

A lighting apparatus includes a driver, a light source, and a controller. The driver is used for converting an external power to generate multiple driving currents. The light source includes a package holder integrating multiple LED modules having different output light parameters. The package holder has multiple terminals for separately receiving the driving currents to control the multiple LED modules independently in the package holder. The controller is used for controlling the driver for adjusting a relative ratio among the multiple driving currents to render an output light of the light source corresponding to predetermined optimized settings for at least an object illuminated by the light source.
