    Abstract: A device (340, 440, 540) is connected to an output terminal of a controller(330), having a single input terminal connected to a first power terminal of an external power source (305) which outputs an AC voltage between the first power terminal and a second power terminal. The device includes a bleeding circuit(342, 442, 542), and a switching arrangement (344/346, 444/446, 544/546) to detect whether the controller powers a load (320 or disables the load. When the controller is in an OFF state, the switching arrangement connects the bleeding circuit between the output terminal of the controller and the second power terminal to provide a current path between the output terminal of the controller and the second power terminal. When the controller is in an ON state, the switching arrangement disconnects the bleeding circuit between the output terminal of the controller and the second power terminal.

    Abstract: A method and illumination device are provided for interference-resistant compensation in light emitting diode (LED) illumination devices. In one embodiment, the method includes bringing to a level insufficient to produce illumination the respective drive current of all except one of multiple emission LED elements for the duration of a first measurement interval and a later-occurring second measurement interval. The first and second measurement intervals are within respective first and second series of measurement intervals interspersed with periods of illumination, and the first and second series of measurement intervals are separated by respective first and second offsets from a timing reference. An embodiment of an illumination device includes multiple emission LED elements, one or more photodetectors, and a lamp control circuit, where the lamp control circuit is adapted to perform steps of the method.

    Abstract: A controllable lighting device may utilize a controllable impedance circuit to conduct a load current through an LED light source. The controllable impedance circuit may be coupled in series with a first switching device, which may be rendered conductive and non-conductive via a pulse-width modulated signal to adjust an average magnitude of the load current. The controllable lighting device may further comprise a control loop circuit that includes a second switching device. The second switching device may be rendered conductive and non-conductive in coordination with the first switching device to control when a feedback signal is provided to the control loop circuit and used to control the LED light source. The control loop circuit may be characterized by a time constant that is significantly greater than an operating period of the load current.

    Abstract: A LED driving circuit includes a DALI module, a linear voltage luminance adjusting module, a DIP luminance adjusting module, a control module, a power source, a constant current driving module and an output module. The DALI module generates a PWM signal. The linear voltage luminance adjusting module generates a second PWM signal. The DIP luminance adjusting module generates a switch signal. The control module generates a drive PWM signal using the first PWM signal, the second PWM signal and the switch signal. The power source provides power. The constant current driving module generates a constant-current drive voltage using the provided power and the drive PWM signal. The output module generates a drive current that responds to the constant-current drive voltage. And the output module drives an external LED device using the drive current.
