A controller system controls a plurality of lighting element arrays. The controller system comprises array selection module for selecting a lighting element array, voltage control module arranged to apply a voltage to at least the selected lighting element array, a common current source arranged to provide a current from the common current source to the selected lighting element array, and duty cycle control module arranged to control a ratio of the current to the selected lighting element array over a time sharing cycle. The duty cycle control module is arranged to cause the array selection module to sequentially select the lighting element arrays in accordance with a time-sharing cycle, to cause the current from the common current source to be provided to the selected lighting element array in accordance with a respective duty cycle setting, and to cause the current provided to the selected lighting element array to be compensated for a rise time of the voltage applied thereto in order to be accurate with respect to the programmed settings.
