Abstract
A solid state lighting switch can include a first input control that can be configured to adjust a dimming indication or color indication for a solid state lighting fixture that is configured for coupling to the solid state lighting switch. A selective linking mechanism can be configured to activate a linked mode of operation of the switch to link the dimming indication to the color indication or to activate an unlinked mode of operation of the switch to unlink the dimming indication from the color indication.

A solid state lighting switch comprising:
- a first input control configured to adjust a dimming indication for a solid state lighting fixture configured for coupling to the solid state lighting switch;
- and
- a second input control configured to adjust a color indication for the solid state lighting fixture, wherein the dimming indication and the color indication are configured to be provided independent of one another to the solid state lighting fixture.
A solid state lighting fixture comprising:
- a dimming input configured to receive a dimming indication from a solid state lighting switch;
- a color input configured to receive a color indication from the solid state lighting switch;
- a plurality of solid state light emitting devices;
- and
- a controller circuit configured to control operation of the plurality of solid state light emitting devices by switching between different models responsive to the dimming and color indications.
