    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.

    摘要: The invention relates to a standby circuit, an electrical device with a standby circuit, a method for the control of the electrical device and a power supply assembly. Whereas the power supply unit and the control electronics are in permanent operation when conventional devices are in the standby mode and consequently have a high power consumption, the invention proposes a solution for saving energy while retaining convenience of operation by which the power supply unit is switched off in the standby mode. A standby circuit, preferably fed by an energy buffer element, remains active in the standby mode and monitors signal inputs for activation events. When an activation event occurs, the standby circuit switches on the power supply unit.

    摘要: In a method and a driver circuit for operating one or more light emitting diodes, LEDs, an alternating supply current is generated and transformed to an alternating secondary winding voltage. Using rectifier means, such as diodes or synchronous switches, the alternating secondary winding voltage is converted to a substantially constant load current by using a buffer element, such as an output choke, i.e. a suitable inductor. The power transferred from the power source to the LEDs may be controlled by frequency control of the alternating supply current.
