Abstract:
1. A lighting device, comprising: a first group of solid state light emitters, said first group of solid state light emitters comprising at least one first group solid state light emitter; a second group of solid state light emitters, said second group of solid state light emitters comprising at least one second group solid state light emitter; a first current regulator; and a second current regulator; said first current regulator being switchable among at least two first current regulator settings, said at least two first current regulator settings comprising a first current regulator first setting and a first current regulator second setting; said second current regulator being switchable among at least two second current regulator settings, said at least two second current regulator settings comprising a second current regulator first setting and a second current regulator second setting; such that: (1) if said lighting device is energized and said first current regulator is in said first current regulator first setting, a first group first current would be supplied to said first group solid state light emitter; (2) if said lighting device is energized and said first current regulator is in said first current regulator second setting, a first group second current would be supplied to said first group solid state light emitter; (3) if said lighting device is energized and said second current regulator is in said second current regulator first setting, a second group first current would be supplied to said second group solid state light emitter; and (4) if said lighting device is energized and said second current regulator is in said second current regulator second setting, a second group second current would be supplied to said second group solid state light emitter; said first group first current differing from said second group first current, said first group second current differing from said second group second current.
