Abstract
A method includes determining a difference in voltage value for a light emitting diode based on a first voltage at the light emitting diode for a first current and a second voltage at the light emitting diode for a second current and determining a temperature for the light emitting diode based on the difference in voltage value. The method further includes outputting an indication of the temperature.
