Abstract
An LED-based replacement light includes a plurality of LEDs, an LED controller for operating the LEDs, a user input interface in communication with the LED controller, a housing for the LEDs, the LED controller and the user input interface, and a connector disposed at an end of the housing and shaped for connection with a light socket. The LED controller establishes different operating states for the LEDs that include only a limited number of discrete ON states. The user input interface is configured to receive user input, and in response to the user input, activate the LED controller to operate the LEDs according to one of the different operating states.
