摘要： LED light source comprising a string of LED loads (LED1-LED4) supplied by a rectified mains voltage. The number of LED loads carrying current is increased as the momentary amplitude of the rectified mains voltage increases, and is decreased as the momentary amplitude of the rectified mains voltage decreases. The order in which the LED loads start carrying a current and the order in which the LED loads stop carrying a current is reversed for each half period of the mains.

摘要： A series arrangement of LED loads (LP1-LP4) is coupled between output terminals of a rectifier having its input terminals coupled to a mains supply supplying a low frequency AC voltage. Control means render the LED loads conductive one by one, when the amplitude of the supply voltage increases, and non-conductive one by one when the amplitude of the supply voltage decreases. The first LED load (LP1, LP2) has a forward voltage that is substantially higher than that of the other LED loads. As a consequence, the LED utilization is comparatively high, thus allowing the LED loads used in the series arrangement to be comparatively cheap.

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.
