Abstract
This disclosure includes systems, methods, and techniques for controlling a plurality of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). For example, a circuit includes a switching device, where the switching device is electrically connected to an LED of the plurality of LEDs, and where the switching device is configured to control whether the LED receives an electrical signal from a power source. Additionally, the circuit includes processing circuitry configured to receive a photocurrent signal indicative of a photocurrent value corresponding to the LED, compare the photocurrent value with a threshold photocurrent value, and control, based on the comparison of the photocurrent value with the threshold photocurrent value, an output current of the LED.
