CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENT

摘要

The invention relates to a circuit arrangement comprising: input terminals (T1, T2) for deriving a supply current from a supply source, means (I) for generating a control signal S, means (II) provided with a converter which is fitted with at least one switching element (13) and with control means (17) which trigger said switching element with high frequency in a manner which is dependent on the value of the control signal S, means (III) for generating a voltage Sc which is a measure for an instantaneous value of a supply voltage delivered by the supply source. The voltage Sc acts as a reference signal which causes the means (I) to generate a control signal S which lies alternately in a first range and in a second range. The means (II) cause the drawing of a comparatively strong supply current (Iv1) at a value of the control signal S which lies in the first range and the drawing of a comparatively weak supply current (Iv2) at a value of the control signal S which lies in the second range, output terminals (T3, T4) coupled to the means (II) for connection to a light source (LI).
