Abstract
Modular multichannel light sources connector systems and methods are provided. A lighting assembly includes substrates, each with a respective plurality of ports and conductive path configurations. Each path configuration includes a plurality of conductive paths between the respective plurality of ports. At least two conductive path configurations are the same. A connector couples one of a plurality of first ports on a first substrate to one of a plurality of second ports on a second substrate. A multichannel power supply's outputs are each coupled to an associated conductive path on the first substrate. A first light source is coupled to two conductive paths on the first substrate, and to a first output. A second light source is coupled to two conductive paths on the second substrate, corresponding to the conductive paths on the first substrate, and to a second output, different from the first output.
