The dimming LED driver 318 can include circuits for, and/or a non-transitory tangible computer readable medium comprising instructions for, controlling a regulated LED current, ILED′. The dimming LED driver 318 can be digital, analogue, or some combination of the two. In some cases its actions can be controlled by the control circuit 310 (as illustrated), while in others, the dimming LED driver 318 can act independently of the control circuit 310. In some cases, the dimming LED driver 318 may provide feedback to the control circuit 310, but may not be controlled by the control circuit 310.
For the purposes of this disclosure, an energy storage device (e.g., 308) can include a battery, capacitor, super capacitor, phase-change energy storage system, or any other means of storing energy, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, an energy storage device may comprise multiple devices coupled in series, parallel, or a combination thereof.
