Abstract
A self-dimming light-emitting diode (LED) system is disclosed. The LED system may include a voltage regulation circuit, an ambient light sensor, and an LED. The LED system provides for a reduction in illumination intensity of an LED, proportional to a reduction in surrounding ambient light intensity. Surrounding ambient light intensity is detected by the ambient light sensor. The LED system provides an autonomous, reduced-power system for low ambient lighting environments.
