Abstract:
A light emitting diode lighting assembly that receives an electrical excitation signal that is varied from a dimming device. Driving circuitry receives the varying input and has first and second paths that each have a plurality of light emitting diodes. Each plurality of light emitting diodes has a threshold voltage with the threshold voltage of the first plurality of diodes being less than the threshold voltage of the second plurality of lighting emitting diodes. The current within the first path is controlled by a current limiting device that is controlled by a resistor that receives input from the second path to gradually turn off the first plurality of light emitting diodes as the second plurality of lighting emitting diodes increase in intensity. A shunt voltage regulator within the circuit having a threshold voltage that is above threshold voltages of components in the assembly to minimize voltage increases in the assembly.

Claim (Index 9):
A method for influencing animal behaviors, comprising:\n providing a lighting assembly in an animal enclosure, the lighting assembly comprising driving circuitry, the driving circuitry adapted to receive an electrical excitation signal from a direct current (DC) input varied in intensity by a dimming device that actuates to increase or decrease a voltage of the electrical excitation signal, the driving circuitry including a first plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) in a first path in parallel relation to a second plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) in a second path, the first plurality of LEDs having a first threshold voltage, and the second plurality of LEDs having a second threshold voltage less than the first threshold value, and a current limiting device within the second path; providing the voltage at an amount greater than the first threshold voltage, wherein only the first plurality of LED's are emitting light and wherein the firsts color characteristic elicits a first behavior in an animal in the animal enclosure; decreasing the voltage to an amount between the first threshold voltage and the second threshold voltage so that the second plurality of LEDs are emitting light of a second color, wherein the second color elicits a first behavior in the animal; wherein, at the first voltage, the current limiting devices limits the current to the first plurality of LEDs.
