  • Patent number: 6636003
    Abstract: An LED arrangement which produces a color temperature adjustable white light. The LED arrangement includes one or more white LEDs and a first drive circuit operable to supply a first drive current to the one or more white LEDs such that a white light is output at a desired intensity. The LED arrangement further includes one or more colored LEDs arranged such that a light output from the one or more colored LEDs combines with the white light to produce a resultant light having a desired color temperature. The colored LEDs are driven by a second drive circuit which supplies a second drive current to the one or more colored LEDs such that a colored light is output at a desired intensity, the intensity of the colored light output from the one or more colored LEDs being adjustable so as to adjust the color temperature of the resultant light.
