LED Illuminator with Automatic Strobe Mode and Adjustable Strobe Intensity

An LED illuminator, comprising;

• an array that contains LEDs of more than one color type;
• a plurality of drivers including a separate driver for each said color type of said LEDs in said array, wherein each said separate driver has a dimming input for receiving a dimming command signal and a strobe input for receiving a strobe command signal, wherein each said separate driver selectively dims said LEDs controlled by said separate driver when said dimming command signal is received and strobes said LEDs controlled by said separate driver when said strobe command signal is received;
• a microcontroller having a separate dimming signal output for each of said plurality of drivers that is coupled to each said dimming input within said plurality of drivers, and wherein said microcontroller has a single strobe signal output coupled to each of said strobe inputs within said plurality of drivers,
• wherein said microcontroller selectively generates said strobe command signal and each said dimming command signal.
