Abstract
An illumination system according to the invention includes a controller with a plurality of actuatable switches and a light board having multiple colored light emitting diodes (LEDs) which the user can control with the switches. A microcontroller is operatively connected to the switches. The microcontroller generates a modulated control signal in response to actuation of the switches. A high side driver is connected to and responsive to the modulated control signal to generate a light drive signal and the colored LEDs are selectively driven by the light drive signal.
