Abstract: In a lighting device, sets of LEDs are employed using the natural characteristics of the LEDs to resemble incandescent lamp behavior when dimmed, thereby obviating the need for sophisticated controls. A first set of at least one LED produces light with a first color temperature, and a second set of at least one LED produces light with a second color temperature. The first set and the second set are connected in series, or the first set and the second set are connected in parallel, possibly with a resistive element in series with the first or the second set. The first set and the second set differ in temperature behavior, or have different dynamic electrical resistance. In various embodiments, the sum of the currents provided to the first and second sets may be substantially equal to a magnitude of an input current.

Abstract: A lighting device has a plurality of LEDs connected in series. In the lighting device, a first LED assembly has LEDs of a first type having a first luminous flux output decreasing as a first function of its junction temperature. A second LED assembly has LEDs of a second type having a second luminous flux output decreasing as a second function of its junction temperature different from the first function.
