Classification: CPC F  H | IPC F  H

Claim 13:
14. A lighting system comprising:
a driver integrated circuit configured to provide a voltage output, the driver integrated circuit including a load sensor;
an LED circuit electrically connected to the driver integrated circuit, the LED circuit including at least two LEDs and a current limiting diode,
wherein the LED circuit is electrically configured so that a first LED is electrically connected to and forward biased by the driver integrated circuit, a second LED is electrically connected to and reverse biased by the driver integrated circuit, and the current limiting diode forms a cross-connecting circuit branch for the first LED and the second LED, and
wherein the load sensor is configured to detect when the first LED fails to provide a voltage output while being forward biased by the driver integrated circuit; and

a switching circuit configured to switch the voltage output of the driver integrated circuit to forward bias the second LED when the load sensor detects that the first LED is not operating,
wherein the driver integrated circuit is configured to cause the switching circuit to switch the voltage output to forward bias the second LED and reverse bias the first LED after the load sensor detects the first LED is not operating.
