Claim Text:
1. A light emitting diode lighting assembly comprising: driving circuitry adapted to receive an electrical excitation signal from a DC input varied in intensity by a dimming device that actuates to increase and decrease voltage of the electrical excitation signal; said driving circuitry comprising a first plurality of light emitting diodes in a first path in parallel relation to a second plurality of light emitting diodes in a second path; said first plurality of light emitting diodes having a first threshold voltage, and said second plurality of light emitting diodes having a second threshold voltage greater than the first threshold value; a current limiting device within the first path to limit current within the first path; a resistor in series relation with the current limiting device and the second plurality of light emitting diodes; wherein as voltage increases above the second threshold voltage the resistor actuates the current limiting device to prevent flow of current to the first plurality of light emitting diodes; a voltage regulator in parallel with the resistor and having a threshold voltage greater than the second threshold voltage to prevent a voltage increase in the assembly above the threshold voltage of the voltage regulator.
