Abstract:
A lighting apparatus includes at least two sets of light-emitting devices with overlapping spectra and different chromaticities, such as two sets of blue-shifted yellow (BSY) LEDs producing outputs with different yellow content. The devices may be selectively controlled, e.g., by using selective current bypass circuits, to provide a desired color temperature or other visual performance in response to a dimming control input such that, for example, a light output approximating that of an incandescent lamp may be achieved.
