摘要:
The invention relates to a method and a device for driving an LED string of a first LED segment (11) and at least one further LED segment (12, 13, 14) connected in series. Each LED segment has at least one light emitting diode, LED. The LED string is powered by a rectified AC mains voltage. The first LED segment (11) is powered when the rectified AC mains voltage is above a first voltage level, and the first LED segment and the further LED segment are powered when the rectified AC mains voltage is above a second voltage level higher than the first voltage level. The first LED segment emits light having a first color temperature, and the further LED segment emits light having a second color temperature higher than the first color temperature. The light emitted by the first LED segment and the light emitted by the further LED segment are superimposed. The color temperature change of the light emitted by the LED string, when dimmed, resembles the color temperature change of an incandescent lamp.

For converting a first DC voltage to a second DC voltage, a first bridge circuit comprised in a power converter is controlled to convert the first DC voltage to a first AC voltage. The first AC voltage is transformed to a second and possibly further AC voltage. The second and each possibly further AC voltage is converted to a DC voltage by respective bridge circuits. To increase efficiency of the power converter switches of the power converter are controlled to operate in soft switching. Thereto a duty cycle of each AC voltage is controlled. In an embodiment, a half-cycle voltage-time integral of each AC voltage is controlled to be substantially equal.
