33. A light system comprising:
-
a high intensity discharge (HID) lamp; a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs); and control circuitry in operative communication with the HID lamp and the LEDs, the control circuitry is operative to; activate the HID lamp, wherein the HID lamp has a first energy profile; and control output of the LEDs to supplement the first energy profile so that a combination of the HID lamp and the LEDs produces a second energy profile, wherein the LEDs further increase a magnitude of at least one wavelength portion of the first energy profile - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39)
