AUXILIARY LIGHTING SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED VEHICLE

An auxiliary lighting system for a vehicle is provided that includes a light assembly comprised of first and second sets of light emitting diodes (LEDs) having different operating voltages. The auxiliary lighting system also includes a switching circuit to operate the light assembly in a respective operating mode responsive to an input voltage. The operating modes include first, second and third operating modes, responsive to the input voltage satisfying first, second and third voltage set points, respectively. In the first operating mode, the first set of LEDs is illuminated and the second set of LEDs is off. In the second operating mode, the first set of LEDs is off and the second set of LEDs is illuminated. In the third operating mode, the first set of LEDs is off and the second set of LEDs is illuminated with greater intensity than in the second operating mode.
