Abstract: The present invention provides a light emitting diode(s), LED, light strip arranged for providing improved color consistency over its length. The LED light strip comprises LED strings positioned along the length of the LED light strip and powered in parallel, for emitting, for example, red, green, blue and white light. The resistance of the supply and return traces, in combination with variations in the current drawn by or the forward voltage of the various LED and resistors used in the LED strings of different color, causes a voltage drop along these traces leading to inconsistent color rendering. By adjusting the resistivity of the traces, such as through providing return paths having different resistances for LED strings of different color, the consistency of the color rendering can be improved.

Abstract: Determination devices (1) determine properties of load devices (2) that may remain unchanged for said determining and that comprise first channels with first elements (20, 25). The determination devices comprise first switches (10) for providing first invitation signals to the first channels, detectors (15, 16) for detecting first response signals that result from the first invitation signals, and controllers (17) for deriving the properties of the load devices (2) from detections of the first response signals. The properties define first maximum values of first loads of the first channels, and the controllers (17) calculate first maximum duty cycles of first supply signals for supplying the first channels in view of the first maximum values of the first loads and power capacities of power supplies (3) that produce the first supply signals. The load devices (2) may further comprise second channels with second elements (21, 26), and the determination devices (1) may further comprise second switches (11).

The invention further describes an LED lamp (10) comprising a driver arrangement (100); and a method of controlling an LED lighting system (1).
