  • Patent number: 11864290
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for lighting. The apparatus may include a power supply. The apparatus may include a controller. The controller may be configured to receive power from the power supply. The controller may be configured to receive a dimming signal generated external to the controller. The controller may be configured to receive from a user selection that includes a CCT partition set-point. The controller may be configured to transmit to a light source lighting power. The lighting power may correspond to the dimming signal. The lighting power may correspond to the CCT partition set-point. The light source may include a high correlated color temperature (“CCT”) LED. The light source may include a low CCT LED. The CCT partition set-point may correspond to a selected value of a partition of power between the high CCT LED and the low CCT LED.
