1. Apparatus comprising:
five light-emitting diodes (“LED”) that are:
mounted to a lamina having break-away connection to laminae contiguous with the lamina; and
in electrical communication with a first integrated circuit that is mounted to the lamina and a second integrated circuit that is mounted to the lamina;
wherein each of the first integrated circuit and the second integrated circuit is configured to receive inputs at three terminals:
a data input terminal designated to receive:
a portion of five light levels, each of the five light levels corresponding to one of the five LEDs;
a second terminal designated to receive an excitation voltage; and
a third terminal designated to receive a reference voltage;
wherein a data output from the first integrated circuit is coupled to the data input terminal of the second integrated circuit;
wherein each of the five LEDs is configured to emit light of a color that is different from that of each of the other LEDs.
