    Abstract: A lighting circuit comprises a first circuit (1) with an element (31) with a diode function coupled serially to a parallel combination of a capacitor (41) and a serial combination of a first LED (21) and a first switch (11) and comprises a second circuit (2) with a second switch (12). The circuits (1, 2) are parallel circuits. The lighting circuit produces light in response to a supply current from a current source (6). The second switch (12), when conducting, lets the supply current pass and prevents it from flowing through the element (31), and, when non-conducting, blocks the supply current and it flows through the element (31). The first switch (11), when non-conducting, prevents the first LED (21) from producing some of the light, and, when conducting, allows the first LED (21) to produce some of the light. Power for the first LED (21) is delivered via the supply current when flowing through the element (31) or via a capacitor current supplied by the capacitor (41).

    Abstract: Drivers (2) comprise converters (21) for converting input signals from dimmers (1) into output signals destined for light emitting diode circuits (3) and controllers (22) for detecting dimming levels of the input signals and for bringing the drivers (2) from first, normal dimming modes into second, eco dimming modes in response to detection results defining the dimming levels being equal to/smaller than threshold levels. In the first/second dimming modes, the first input signals are converted into first/second output signals according to first/second curves (I, II). The second curves (II) define higher light outputs than the first curves (I) for most of the dimming levels. Dimmers (1) comprise indicators (11, 2, 13) for indicating to users the dimming levels of the input signals being equal to/smaller than the threshold levels. The indicators (11, 12, 13) may comprise light emitting diode 10 apparatuses (11), mechanical clicks when turning knobs (12) and markers or markings (13) on the dimmer.
