- the dual power output control circuit 104 is used to provide a low power mode of operation of the lighting system 100 when operated from battery power. In the AC and solar modes of operation, the dual power output control circuit is controlled to operate in normal, high power mode of operation.

- the internal switch 112 is a controllable switch, such as a diode.
- the switch may be controlled by forward biasing or reverse biasing the diode.
- the diode is reverse biased when the power is available either from SMPS 120 and/or DC -DC converter 118 thereby disconnecting the driver 106 from the battery 122.
- the diode is forward biased when the power is not available either from SMPS 120 and/or DC -DC converter 118 and the lighting system 100 is powered from the battery 122.

It has been found that mounting the LED light assembly 200 with an LED array 102 having LEDs with the characteristics described above at a height of approximately eight feet from the floor of a room provides sufficient light for residential use for a 12 foot by 12 foot room. In larger rooms, multiple light assemblies may be used, and light assemblies having LED arrays at different mounting angles and mounting heights may be used.
- the LED light assembly 200 can be modular and easily configured between four different versions.

- the ability to upgrade the LED light assembly 200 allows a user to purchase an affordable light assembly to meet current needs and to upgrade the light assembly 200 as additional power sources become available.
- the modularity also simplifies manufacturing by allowing a single upgradeable assembly to be configured in four different versions, rather than providing four separate assemblies.
- Embodiments of light assemblies described above use LEDs as a source of light. In other embodiments, fluorescent bulbs, incandescent bulbs and other light sources may be used in place of the LEDs.
- light assemblies may be configured for operation with other power sources as well, including fuel cells and wind power.
