Abstract
A method of controlling an LED system with a control signal having a first control scheme may include providing a lighting module including a control module, an LED driver connected to the control module, and at least one LED connected to the LED driver; receiving, at the control module, the control signal having a first control scheme; comparing the first control scheme to a predetermined second control scheme; when the comparing determines that the first control scheme is the same as the predetermined second control scheme, transmitting to the LED driver a driver control signal including the predetermined second control scheme; and when the comparing determines that the first control scheme is different from the predetermined second control scheme, translating, with the control module, the first control scheme into the predetermined second control scheme and then transmitting to the LED driver a driver control signal including the predetermined second control scheme.
