Light emitting diode (LED) lighting device or lamp with configurable light qualities

An LED lighting device or LED lamp comprising:

• one or more LED packages;
• driver circuitry configured to provide a controllable electrical current to at least one of the one or more LED packages during operation of the LED lighting device or LED lamp;
• and
• a switch comprising at least two selectable positions, at least one selectable position corresponding to a set operating mode and one selectable position corresponding to a configurable operating mode;
• wherein, when the LED lighting device or LED lamp is on and:
• when the switch is in the selectable position corresponding to the set operating mode, (a) the driver circuitry operates at least one of the one or more LED packages to emit light having predefined set operating light qualities that are determined based on the set operating mode and (b) in response to receiving a signal indicating a user-selection provided via a remote toggle switch, the driver circuitry continues to operate at least one of the one or more LED packages to emit light having the predefined set operating light qualities,
• when the switch is in the selectable position corresponding to the configurable operating mode, in response to receiving a signal indicating a user-selection provided via the remote toggle switch, the driver circuitry operates at least one of the one or more LED packages to emit light having operating light qualities corresponding to the user-selection, and
• the remote toggle switch is a wall or junction box mounted remote toggle switch.
