Patent ID: 11953167
Assignee: LYNK LABS, INC.
Field: Electrical machinery, apparatus, energy (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC F  H | IPC F  H

Claim 7:
8. A lighting system comprising:
at least one circuit having at least two LEDs, the at least two LEDs electrically connected and configured so that when the at least two LEDs are connected to a driver integrated circuit, a first LED within the at least one circuit is forward biased by the driver integrated circuit and a second LED within the at least one circuit is reversed biased by the driver integrated circuit,
wherein the driver integrated circuit includes a load sensor that is configured to detect when the first LED fails to output a forward voltage or a current,
wherein the driver integrated circuit further includes a switching circuit capable of dynamically adjusting an output of the driver integrated circuit when the load sensor detects that the first LED has failed, and
wherein the driver integrated circuit is configured to cause the switching circuit to switch the output to forward bias the second LED and reverse bias the first LED after the load sensor detects the first LED has failed.
