1. A lighting apparatus comprising:
- at least one LED in each of a plurality of colors;
a power supply; and
a controller connected to the power supply and the at least one LED in each of a plurality of colors, wherein the controller is adapted to adjust current levels to the at least one LED in each of the plurality of colors to produce a blended color, and wherein the controller is adapted to adjustably vary an intensity of the blended color without substantially changing the blended color, and wherein the controller is adapted to transmit a status of the current level to the at least one LED in each of the plurality of colors to an external controller for user display; and
wherein the controller is adapted to selectably accept dimming signals from a plurality of sources and to selectably deselect ones of the dimming signals, wherein the controller is adapted to automatically select among the dimming signals, and wherein the controller is adapted to deselect wall dimming when the power supply is switched to a universal voltage mode.

15. A method of controlling an LED lamp, the method comprising:
-
selectably accepting user color selections from a plurality of sources and deselecting user color selections from ones of the plurality of sources; automatically selecting and deselecting dimming signals from a plurality of dimming sources and deselecting a wall dimming source when operating in a universal voltage mode; adjusting a current level to each of a plurality of groups of LEDs based on a user color selection, wherein each of the plurality of groups of LEDs has a different color, to produce a blended color identified by the user color selection; adjusting the current level to each of the plurality of groups of LEDs based on a user dimming input to produce an output intensity identified by the user dimming input while substantially maintaining the blended color; and transmitting a status of the current level to each of the plurality of groups of LEDs to an external controller for user display. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
