摘要:
An LED arrangement uses a tapped driver driven by a rectified mains input and placed over a light output surface. There are at least first and second groups of LEDs on the light output surface. The total light output density for the LEDs of the second group (which are turned on for less of the mains cycle) per unit area of the light output surface is greater than the total light output density for the LEDs of the first group per unit area of the light output surface. A fraction of a light emitting surface of the second group (16) of LEDs to a second area (20B) of the light output surface occupied in a macro view by the second group (16) of LEDs, is larger than a fraction of a light emitting surface of the first group (14) of LEDs to a first area (20A) of the light output sur face occupied in a macro view by the first group (14) of LEDs. This means the light output density when averaged over time is made more consistent between the two (or more) groups of LEDs.

摘要:
A system comprising a driver circuit wherein the driver circuit comprises a converter. The system further comprises a controller operable to control a ratio between an input voltage supplied to the driver circuit and a target output voltage to be output from the driver circuit by varying a pulse width modulated signal, and by switching between operating modes of said converter. The controller is configured to determine that the driver circuit is operating in an undesired state caused by a combination of the duty cycle and the operating mode of the converter. The system further comprises a resistance adjustment circuit configured to adjust an equivalent output resistance of the driver circuit in response to the controller determining that the driver circuit is operating in an undesired state.
摘要:
A lighting controller and method has light sources which are activated for a respective lighting duration in a repeating non-overlapping sequence. The end of the lighting duration for one light source is detected for triggering the switching on of the next light source in the sequence. This provides non-overlapping control of the light sources and provides an efficient and easy to implement the required controller.
