Abstract
A lighting control system having a driver for independently controlling multiple light sources. One lighting control system includes an input capable of being driven in a first polarity and a second polarity reversed from the first polarity, a first light source connected to the input and configured to generate light when driven at the first polarity, and a second light source connected to the input and configured to generate light when driven at the second polarity. The lighting control system includes a steering bridge connected to the input and configured to control the polarity of the input, and a controller connected to the steering bridge. The controller is configured to control, based on a steering drive command, the steering bridge, and provide, to the input, lighting control signals to independently control the first light source and the second light source.
