Method and apparatus for providing selectively colored light
First Claim
1. An apparatus for providing selectively-colored light, consisting of:
- a circuit includinga plurality of diodes each including an anode and a cathode, wherein the plurality of diodes includea first diode that emits a first light defined by a first wavelength,a second diode that emits a second light defined by a second wavelength, anda third diode that emits a third light defined by a third wavelength, wherein a summation of one or more of the first, second and third light defines a selectively-colored light; and
a controller includinga first output connected tothe anode of the first diode, andthe cathode of the second diode,a second output connected tothe cathode of the first diode,the anode of the second diode, andthe anode of the third diode, anda third output connected tothe cathode of the third diode.
