Abstract

First and second LED channels of different color temperatures are connected to respective first and second FET drivers. A wall dimmer output is connected to a driver circuit and to circuitry which generates a variable DC voltage. A microcontroller is configured to employ a signal derived from the driver circuit output to generate changing PWM signals which are supplied along with the variable DC voltage to each of the first and second FET drivers to create variable mixed light color and brightness.
