    Abstract: An illumination system can produce a dynamically variable illumination pattern. The illumination system can include a light guide. The illumination system can include projection optics, which can contribute to the illumination pattern at relatively low beam angles (i.e., beam angles formed with respect to a surface normal of the light guide). The projection optics can include individually addressable light-producing elements that can direct light through one or more focusing elements. A controller can control which of the light-producing elements are electrically powered and can therefore control the illumination pattern contribution from the projection optics. The illumination system can also include scattering optics, which can contribute to the illumination pattern at relatively high beam angles. The scattering optics can direct light out of the light guide over a relatively large surface area, which can help reduce glare when the light guide is viewed directly.

    Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed, comprising: a first light source having a first threshold voltage; a second light source having a second threshold voltage; a rectifier configured to receive an AC voltage as input and generate a DC voltage based on the AC voltage; a single-stage Buck converter section coupled to the rectifier, the first light source, and the second light source, the Buck converter section being configured to output a current generated based on the DC voltage towards the first light source and the second light source; and a switching circuit configured to reduce a load on the Buck converter section by periodically diverting the current away from the second light source when a magnitude of the AC voltage is less than or equal to a sum of the first threshold voltage and the second threshold voltage.

    Abstract: Light emitting devices having a first LED with a first phosphor, a second LED with a second phosphor and a third LED with a third phosphor to emit a composite white light are described. The first LED and first phosphor emit the red spectral component, the second LED and the second phosphor emit the blue spectral component and the third LED and third phosphor emit the green spectral component of the composite white light. The green spectral component has at least 30% radiant flux in a deep red spectral wavelength region.

    Abstract: Embodiments include systems, methods, and apparatuses for providing a dimming function in a single stage AC input light emitting diode (LED) driver with a controller that contains an on-chip error amplifier and an on-chip fixed reference voltage source coupled to a first input of the error amplifier. The controller controls a duty cycle of a switching transistor to cause a feedback voltage, applied to a first package input terminal, to match the reference voltage. To achieve a dimming function, a voltage across a current sense resistor in series with the LEDs is applied to a first input of a high gain differential amplifier, and a variable dimming control voltage is applied to a second input of the differential amplifier. The output of the differential amplifier is coupled to the first package input terminal. The differential amplifier input signals will be matched at the target LED current level.
