In operation, one of the D/A converters 47 receives a command for a particular level, from the MCU 49. In response, the converter 47 generates a corresponding analog control signal, which causes the associated LED driver circuit 43 to generate a corresponding power level to drive the particular string of LEDs 17. The LEDs of the string in turn output light of a corresponding intensity. The D/A converter 47 will continue to output the particular MCU specified driver setting level, until the MCU 49 issues a new command to the particular D/A converter 47. Thus, the particular set of LEDs 17 will continue to receive analog current and thus will continue to output light at the set analog level until the MCU 47 changes the applicable setting.
