APPARATUSES FOR BLEEDING CURRENT FROM A TRANSFORMER OF A SOLID-STATE LIGHT EMITTING DIODE

摘要

A system configured to provide current to power a solid-state light emitting diode in accordance with a dimming level, wherein the dimming level corresponds to an amount of light provided from the solid-state light emitting diode. The system includes a transformer and a switch. The transformer includes a coil. The transformer is configured to receive a first current. The coil is configured to, based on the first current, output a second current to power the solid-state light emitting diode. The switch is configured to, based on a dimming level that corresponds to the amount of light provided from the solid-state light emitting diode of the system, bleed a portion of the second current out of the coil to a ground reference in order to divert the portion of the second current from being supplied to the solid-state light emitting diode.
