Patent ID: 8896218

Claim:
A lighting device comprising: a flexible strip; an electrical connector affixed to the flexible strip; an AC/DC or DC/DC power converter; a controller/processor electrically connected to the AC/DC or DC/DC power converter; a light emitting diode (LED) current control circuit communicably coupled to the controller/processor and electrically connected to the AC/DC or DC/DC power converter; two or more LEDs comprising at least a first color LED and a second color LED electrically connected to the LED current control circuit; wherein the two or more LEDs are affixed to the flexible strip and electrically connected to the electrical connector; wherein the AC/DC or DC/DC power converter, the controller/processor and the LED current control circuit are remotely located with respect to the flexible strip and electrically connected to the electrical connector via a wire, a cable or a connecting strip; and wherein the LED current control circuit provides an on/off signal having a cycle time to each LED in response to one or more control signals received from the controller/processor such that the two or more LEDs produce a blended light having a specified color based on how long each LED is turned ON and/or OFF during the cycle time.
