    Abstract: The invention provides a method and apparatus for overcoming LED flicker caused by an asynchronous control of an LED on or off state and a switched-mode power supply for the LED. There is provided a supplementary control system adapted to override a primary control system for the switched-mode power supply, and control an energy storage inductor of the switched-mode power supply. In particular, in response to an indicated desire to switch the LED on, the supplementary control system sets the current in the energy storage inductor to a predetermined level. In this way, when the LED is switched on, the current through the inductor is known and LED flicker is thereby reduced.

    Abstract: A lighting control circuit is for controlling a lighting arrangement comprising a set of at least two light sources in parallel. A current driver is used to deliver a drive current to the lighting arrangement. A switch is associated with the second light source, which may for example be provided for color adjustment, and the duty cycle of the switch is controlled as well as the overall drive current setting thereby to control the color or color temperature setting and dimming level of the lighting arrangement. The controller derives the required average output current and the expected average output voltage from the current driver based on the determined duty cycle and the dimming level, and then derives the current driver setting. In this way, the current driver is accurately controlled to deliver the required output. This enables a single stage driver to be used to control the color or color temperature of multiple light source channels, for example in dependence on a dimming level.
