Abstract
In some embodiments, a light device for generating light includes light emitting diodes (LEDs), and power supply circuitry including at least one switching regulator including switching elements to provide power to the LEDs. The light device includes a device support structure including a device connector and an LED support to support the LEDs, wherein the device connector is one end of the device support structure, and the power supply circuitry is supported by the device support structure. Other embodiments are described.
Claims16
A light device, comprising:
- light emitting diodes (LEDs);
- power supply circuitry including a switching regulator that has switching elements to provide power to the LEDs, the power supply circuitry further including input conductors to receive input power, and wherein brightness of at least some of the LEDs is controllable responsive to changes in the switching elements in response to at least one external intensity control signal;
- a wireless receiver to receive the at least one external intensity control signal from an external intensity control circuitry;
- and
- a device connector configured to mate with a light socket to provide the input power, wherein the power supply circuitry is included in the device connector.
