DEVICE FOR LIMITING CURRENT
A current limiting device coupled with a light emitting diode (LED) driver and with a plurality of LED lights, the LED driver supplying current to each of the plurality of LED lights, the current limiting device comprising current sensing circuitry configured to monitor a current value in each of the plurality of LED lights; determine that the current value in one of the plurality of LED lights exceeds a specified threshold; and, in response to the determination, cause the LED driver to reduce the current supplied to each of the plurality of LED lights.
1 . A current limiting device coupled with a light emitting diode (LED) driver and with a plurality of LED lights, the LED driver supplying current to each of the plurality of LED lights, the current limiting device comprising:
current sensing circuitry configured to
monitor a current value in each of the plurality of LED lights;
determine that the current value in one of the plurality of LED lights exceeds a specified threshold; and
in response to the determination, cause the LED driver to reduce the current supplied to each of the plurality of LED lights.
2 . The current limiting device of claim 1 , wherein the LED driver is a UL Class 1 compliant driver and wherein each of the plurality of LED lights is a UL Class 2 LED light.
3 . The current limiting device of claim 2 , wherein the specified threshold is indicative of a current value complying with a UL Class 2 safety standard.
4 . The current limiting device of claim 1 , wherein to cause the LED driver to reduce the current supplied to each of the plurality of LED lights comprises to transmit a dimming signal to the LED driver, wherein the dimming signal is to cause the LED driver to dim output of light by each of the plurality of LED lights.
5 . The current limiting device of claim 4 , wherein the dimming signal is an analog signal.
6 . The current limiting device of claim 4 , wherein the dimming signal is a pulse-width-modulation signal.
7 . The current limiting device of claim 1 , further comprising a series fuse.
