    Abstract: A lighting device, such as a light-emitting diode (LED) light source, may operate in an interim operable state to avoid and/or prevent undesirable characteristics in the light emitted by the lighting device (e.g., strobing and/or flickering of a brightness of the light and/or shifting or change of a color of the light). When operating in a normal state, the control circuit may determine if a measured value of a first operational characteristic (e.g., a forward voltage of an emitter of the lighting device) is outside of a range and operate in the interim operable state if the measured value of the first operational characteristic is outside of the range. When operating in the interim operable state, the control circuit may adjust a drive current for the emitter in response to a measured value of a second operational characteristic (e.g., a forward voltage of a detector of the lighting device).

    Abstract: A lighting device, such a controllable light-emitting diode (LED) light source, may execute a self calibration procedure to compensate for changes to an optical system of the lighting device that may have occurred after an initial factory calibration procedure. The lighting device may include an emitter, a detector that generates a detector signal in response to detected light, a memory that stores a curve defining an optical compensation value with respect to a measured forward voltage of the detector, and a control circuit configured to receive a measured value of a luminous flux of the light emitted by the emitter that may be determined in response to the detector signal and based the optical compensation value. The control circuit may adjust the curve defining the optical compensation value in response to a difference between the measured value and an expected value of the luminous flux.
