Abstract
A system for dimming one or more light sources includes a first light source that emits a light of a first brightness according to an operating condition of the first light source, a second light source that emits a light of a second brightness according to an operating current of the second light source, wherein the light of the first brightness is different than that of the light of the second brightness, and one or more components that references the operating condition of the first light source, wherein, in response to the referenced operating condition of the first light source, the one or more components modifies the operating current of the second light source to substantially match the light of the second brightness to the light of the first brightness. A method for dimming one or more light sources is also disclosed.
