Abstract: Methods for controlling power consumption and temperature in an LED luminaire are disclosed. The LED luminaire has one or more sets of LED light engines disposed on a printed circuit board (PCB), some or all of which are activated in response to an instruction or set of instructions.

Temperature control methods similarly ramp down the duty cycle of active sets of LED light engines uniformly over time if the measured temperature of the PCB exceeds limits.
