Abstract
A light having a first set of electrically coupled solid state light sources having a first forward voltage drop and a second set of electrically coupled solid state light sources having a second forward voltage at least approximately matching the first forward voltage drop. The first set and second sets of solid state light sources are electrically coupled in parallel to a constant current source. A resistor is electrically coupled to at least one of the first and second sets of solid state light sources. Control circuitry is operably coupled to control a resistance electrically coupled in series with said at least one of the first set and the second set of solid state light sources to adjust a respective current therethrough and thereby dim said at least one of the first set and the second set of solid state light sources while maintaining the respective forward voltage drops.
