Abstract
Apparatuses and systems are provided for changing the spectrum of light emission from a light-emitting diode (LED) light set. The LED light set may include LEDs, each of which having at least a first LED chip and a second LED chip configured to emit light at differing wavelengths. The first and second LED chips may be connected in series with opposite polarities. Responsive to receiving a power flow in a first direction from a power terminal, the first LED chip may emit light of a first color while the second LED chip may remain powered off. Responsive to receiving the power flow in a second direction opposite the first direction from the power source, the second LED chip may emit light of a second color different from the first color while the first LED chip may remain powered off.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a power terminal configured to produce a power flow through a wire in either a first direction or a second direction opposing the first direction, the power terminal including an A/B switch configured to switch the power flow between the first direction and the second direction;
- and
- a support apparatus configured to encapsulate the wire, the support apparatus including:
- a trunk portion;
- a plurality of branch portions connected to the trunk portion;
- and
- a plurality of twig portions connected to the plurality of branch portions,
- wherein the trunk portion, each of the plurality of branch portions, and each of the plurality of twig portions include one or more light-emitting diodes.
A system comprising:
- a power terminal configured to produce a power flow through a wire;
- a first inline connector and a second inline connector attached to the wire, wherein the wire is connected to the power terminal by the first inline connector and the second inline connector, wherein a direction of the power flow through the wire is switched between a first direction and a second direction opposing the first direction by changing a connection of the first inline connector and the second inline connector with the power terminal;
- and
- a support apparatus configured to encapsulate the wire, the support apparatus including:
- a trunk portion;
- a plurality of branch portions connected to the trunk portion;
- and
- a plurality of twig portions connected to the plurality of branch portions,
- wherein the trunk portion, each of the plurality of branch portions, and each of the plurality of twig portions include one or more light-emitting diodes.
A support apparatus configured to encapsulate a wire, the support apparatus including:
- a trunk portion;
- a plurality of branch portions connected to the trunk portion;
- and
- a plurality of twig portions connected to the plurality of branch portions,
- wherein the trunk portion, each of the plurality of branch portions, and each of the plurality of twig portions include one or more light-emitting diodes.
