DCFirst Claim
1. A lighting device comprising:
- an AC/DC or DC/DC power converter;
a controller/processor electrically connected to the AC/DC or DC/DC power converter;
a light emitting diode (LED) current control circuit communicably coupled to the controller/processor and electrically connected to the AC/DC or DC/DC power converter;
two or more LEDs comprising at least a first color LED and a second color LED electrically connected to the LED current control circuit;
wherein the LED current control circuit provides an on/off signal having a cycle time to each LED in response to one or more control signals received from the controller/processor such that the two or more LEDs produce a blended light having a specified color based on how long each LED is turned ON and/or OFF during the cycle time;
a wireless transceiver circuit communicably coupled to the controller/processor;
an antenna communicably coupled to the wireless transceiver circuit;
wherein the controller/processor communicates with one or more other lighting devices, remote controllers, sensors, other devices, or a combination thereof;
wherein the lighting device and the other lighting devices are part of a mesh network, a group or a combination thereof; and
wherein the controller/processor provides a status information from the other lighting devices, remote controllers or other devices within the mesh network or group.

Abstract
A lighting device includes a DC/DC power converter, a controller/processor electrically connected to the DC/DC power converter, a light emitting diode (LED) current control circuit communicably coupled to the controller/processor and electrically connected to the DC/DC power converter, and two or more LEDs comprising at least a first color LED and a second color LED electrically connected to the LED current control circuit. The LED current control circuit provides an on/off signal having a cycle time to each LED in response to one or more control signals received from the controller/processor such that the two or more LEDs produce a blended light having a specified color based on how long each LED is turned ON and/or OFF during the cycle time.
