APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DIMMING FUNCTION TO CONTROL LED INTENSITY
First Claim
1. A system for controlling interior lighting in a vehicle and the system being adapted to project a preselected color of light selected by user from a plurality of colors, the system comprising:
- one or more lighting arrangements positioned throughout the vehicle and capable of projecting the plurality of colors of light;
a color selection device configured to generate a signal; and
a controller operable to present one or more pulse width modulated (PWM) signals which correspond to the preselected color of light to the lighting arrangements in response to the signal.

Abstract
In one non-limiting embodiment, a system is provided for controlling interior lighting in a vehicle. The system is adapted to project a preselected color of light selected by user from a plurality of colors. The system generally includes one or more light emitting devices arrangements, a color selection device and a controller. The one or more lighting arrangements are positioned throughout the vehicle and capable of projecting the plurality of colors of light. The color selection device is configured to generate a signal. The controller is operable to present one or more pulse width modulated (PWM) signals which correspond to the preselected color of light to the lighting arrangements in response to the signal.
