Abstract: A lighting system and method and apparatus for adjusting same are described. The lighting system has LED lighting units. To adjust a lighting unit, a programmer is connected to the lighting unit, lighting information (such as color or brightness) is input into the programmer (either manually or electronically), and data representing the lighting information is transmitted from the programming device to the lighting unit. The data is stored in the lighting unit, and one or more of the LEDs emits light that corresponds to the transmitted data.

Abstract: Provided are a reading light assembly for a vehicle and a field replaceable unit for an in-vehicle reading light assembly. An embodiment of the reading light assembly for a vehicle includes a housing for attaching the reading light assembly to an interior portion of the vehicle and a field replaceable unit for engaging with the housing. An embodiment of the field replaceable unit includes a power module including a power interface for receiving operational power from a power source, a light module including a plurality of LEDs, and a control module that includes a control interface for receiving a user input signal from a user input device so that the control module can vary a light intensity that is output from the plurality of LEDs according to the user input signal.
