A lighting system (100) includes a light-emitting diode (LED) (106) that emits light having a hue that varies in response to variations in a voltage applied to the LED (106) and an intensity that varies in response to variations in a duty cycle of the applied voltage. The lighting system (100) includes a controller (104) configured to receive a command signal (130) having a periodic peak voltage (138) and a periodic valley voltage (140). The controller (104) includes a peak detector (120) and a valley detector (122) that detects the peak voltage (138) and the valley voltage (140), respectively. The controller (104) includes a pulse generator that generates a pulse stream having a pulse-voltage magnitude substantially equal to the detected peak voltage (138) and a pulse-voltage duty cycle substantially equal to the ratio of the detected valley voltage (140) to the detected peak voltage (138). The generated pulse stream is applied to the LED (106) resulting in light emission of the controlled hue and of the controlled intensity.
