Abstract:
A lighting device includes multiple light emitting diode (LED) channels. Each LED channel is connected in parallel to an output rail of a power converter. The power converter may be a buck regulator. Each LED channel may include an LED string of one or more LEDs, a first transistor that is electrically connected between the LED string and ground, a second transistor that is electrically connected between the first transistor and ground, and a current sensing resistor that is electrically connected between the first transistor and the second transistor. This design provides for self-regulation of current across all LED channels when another LED channel is added to or deleted from the lighting device.

Claim (Index 19):
The lighting system of  claim 11 , wherein each LED channel is self-regulating such that when any LED channel is added to or removed from the device, the current passing across each active LED channel will adjust to be substantially the same across all active LED channels.
