Abstract

A light emitting diode (LED) lamp includes a primary LED grouping (210,310), a switchable LED grouping (215), and a conduction path selector (240,340) configured to select a conductive path that places the primary LED grouping in electrical series with at least a portion of the switchable LED grouping, or bypasses the switchable LED grouping. The primary LED grouping have a first color temperature rating, and each respective LED subgrouping have a respective color temperature different from the first color temperature. Selection of one or more LED subgrouping results in the LED lamp emitting different color temperatures.
