Abstract: Light emitting device (LED) light fixture control systems and related methods are disclosed. A system and method in one aspect can include at least one LED configured to emit light at an illumination output level and at least one light sensor configured to measure the illumination output level of light emitted by the LED. A system and method can also include a control unit configured to detect the illumination output level emitted by the at least one LED falling below an original illumination output level and to increase the illumination output level by the at least one LED to produce a predetermined lighting level associated with the original illumination output level in an area.

Abstract: Semiconductor light emitting devices are provided that include a first string of light emitting diodes (“LED”) that emit unsaturated light having a color point that is within at least eight MacAdam ellipses of one or more points within a first blue-shifted-yellow region on the 1931 CIE Chromaticity Diagram, a second string of LEDs that emit unsaturated light having color point that is within at least eight MacAdam ellipses from one or more points within a second blue-shifted-green region on the 1931 CIE Chromaticity Diagram, and a third light source that emits radiation having a dominant wavelength between 600 and 720 nm. A drive circuit is provided that is configured to supply a first drive current to the first string of LEDs, a second drive current to the second string of LEDs and a third drive current to the third string of LEDs, wherein at least two of the first, second and third drive currents are independently controllable.

Abstract: A lighting apparatus may include a plurality of light emitting devices, a temperature sensor, and a compensation circuit. The plurality of light emitting devices may include a first light emitting device configured to emit light having a first chromaticity, a second light emitting device configured to emit light having a second chromaticity different than the first chromaticity, and a third light emitting device configured to emit light having the second chromaticity. Moreover, the first, second, and third light emitting devices may be electrically coupled in series. The temperature sensor may be configured to generate a temperature sense signal responsive to heat generated by at least one of the plurality of light emitting devices.
