    摘要: The invention relates to a method and to a circuit arrangement for feeding n LED units (LED1 , ... LED5) of a lamp unit of a motor vehicle by means of a controlled current source (5) from a voltage source (2) having fluctuating operating voltage (U
    B ), in which the connecting of the LED units (LED1 , ... LED5) in the event of the operating voltage (UB) falling is carried out whilst taking into account a stored weighting with regard to the priority assigned to the individual LED units, in particular each k LED units (LED1, ..., LED5) of a series circuit are short-circuited, wherein at the same time (n-k) LED units remain energized. At the same time, a control unit (3) for driving the current source is assigned a storage unit (7) for storing information about weightings relating to the priority of specific LED units, a switching matrix (4', S
    1 , ..., S
    4 ), in particular a switch arrangement of n controlled switches (S
    1 , ..., S
    4 ) each bridging the LED units (LED1, ..., LED4, LED5) is provided, and the control unit (3) is configured to compare the operating voltage and/or the current (I
    S ) from the current source with predefined threshold values and to carry out the connection of the LED units on the basis of this comparison and the weighting.
