Abstract

In one embodiment, a control system is for controlling a lighting system which comprises a cluster (20) of different colour LEDs. The control system comprises a first control unit (24) for generating amplitude values for the different LEDs of the cluster to provide a desired colour point and a second control unit (38) for controlling pulse width values for the different LEDs to provide a desired brightness. Current sources (32) are provided for individually driving the LEDs of the cluster. This system allows the control of colour point to be independent from the control of brightness of the LED cluster. This provides a low cost solution and a fast, accurate and flexible control to a LED cluster.
