    Abstract: Apparatus (10) for regulating the temperature of a light emitting diode (LED) (2). The apparatus (10) includes a heat sink (4), an LED mount (6), and an LED (2) mounted on the LED mount (6). The LED mount (6) is configured to change shape in response to a change in temperature. The change in shape alters the position of the LED (2) relative to the heat sink (4), for adjusting heat transfer between the LED (2) and the heat sink (4). The LED mount (6) may include a laminated portion (18,28) such as a bi-metallic strip.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a control system is for controlling a lighting system which comprises a cluster (20) of different colour LEDs. The control system comprises a first control unit (24) for generating amplitude values for the different LEDs of the cluster to provide a desired colour point and a second control unit (38) for controlling pulse width values for the different LEDs to provide a desired brightness. Current sources (32) are provided for individually driving the LEDs of the cluster.
    This system allows the control of colour point to be independent from the control of brightness of the LED cluster. This provides a low cost solution and a fast, accurate and flexible control to a LED cluster.

    Abstract: An active thermal management device and method are disclosed, in which a phase change material unit, comprising one or more phase change material arranged in thermally in series or parallel, is connectable to a source of thermal energy, such as a group of LEDs at a first operating condition. Thermal energy from the source of thermal energy is stored in the phase change material unit. The phase change material unit is connectable to a sink of thermal energy, such as a second group of LEDs at a second operating condition. The thermal energy stored in the phase change material unit may be re-used by connecting the sink of thermal energy. In one embodiment, the first operating condition includes a supply voltage of 15V, and the second operating condition includes either no supply voltage, or a lower supply voltage of 9V, such that excess heat from the first group of of LEDs, which may be over-temperature, can be re-used to pre-heat the second group of LEDs, thereby improving the thermal matching and thus optical matching.
