1. A lighting control system for a lighting device, the system comprising:
- a primary controller;
a plurality of drive controllers electrically connected with the primary controller;
a plurality of drive outputs electrically connected with a drive controller, each drive controller controlling at least one drive output;
a plurality of LED modules, each LED module electrically connected with a drive output and having a plurality of LEDs, wherein at least one of said plurality of LED modules includes;
a temperature compensation circuit to compensate for effects of temperature changes on a forward voltage associated with the LEDs of the LED module, said temperature compensation circuit reducing the forward voltage as the temperature of the LEDs increases.
