Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A light-emitting diode (LED) lighting fixture is configured to interface a three-way socket and provide at least two levels of output light intensity. A detection unit determines whether one or both input voltages lines of the three-way socket are active and provides a control signal to an LED controller indicating which input voltage lines are active. The LED controller is configured to provide different output current levels to an LED bank based on whether one or both input voltage lines are active. By adjusting the output current level based on which input lines are active, the LED lighting fixture provides at least two output lighting intensity levels. LED lighting fixtures according to various embodiments can therefore serve as a direct replacement for three-way incandescent bulbs.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A light-emitting diode (LED) lighting fixture configured to receive signals from a first input voltage line and a second input voltage line, the LED lighting fixture comprising: an LED bank including one or more LEDs; and an LED controller configured to detect whether the first and second input voltage lines are active and to provide regulated current to the LED bank, the LED controller configured to: provide regulated output current at a first level to a…
