LED CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENT

摘要

An arrangement includes a voltage input, a reactive element connected in series with the voltage input, and an LED light source. The LED light source includes a first LED unit and a second LED unit, each having at least one LED, a controllable switching device to connect the LED units with the reactive element in a low voltage mode and a high voltage mode, and a control unit. The LED light source has a first, higher, forward voltage in the low voltage mode and a second, lower, forward voltage in the high voltage mode. The control unit controls the current through the LED light source by setting the switching device to the low voltage mode when the current, supplied to the LED light source, corresponds to a first threshold value, and by setting the switching device to the high voltage mode when the current corresponds to a second threshold value.
