Abstract

A lighting apparatus includes a filter tuner, a bridge rectifier, multiple types of LED modules, a monitor circuit, and a current source. The filter tuner is connected to a manual switch and an external AC power. The filter tuner changes a conductive angle of the external AC power to an adjusted AC input. The bridge rectifier receives the adjusted AC input to generate a DC output. Multiple types of LED modules are disposed for emitting lights of multiple color temperatures. The monitor circuit monitors the conductive angle to generate a control signal. The current source, according to the control signal, generates multiple corresponding driving currents respectively supplied to the multiple types of LED modules to mix a desired color temperature. The desired color temperature is associated with the conductive angle according to a predetermined relation.
