Abstract

The present invention discloses an LED lamp adapted to work in a circuit that contains a magnetic ballast. The LED lamp comprises a bridge rectifier, a filter capacitor, an LED light source, a transistor, and a pulse width modulation controller. The bridge rectifier is configured to convert the alternating current supplied by the magnetic ballast into a direct current. The bridge rectifier comprises a first input terminal, a second input terminal, a first output terminal, and a second output terminal, where the first and second input terminals are electrically connected to the magnetic ballast. The filter capacitor is electrically connected to the first and second output terminals of the bridge rectifier. The LED light source is electrically connected to the first and second output terminals of the bridge rectifier. The transistor comprises a drain electrode, a source electrode, and a gate electrode. The drain electrode and source electrode are electrically connected to the first and second output terminals of the bridge rectifier respectively. The pulse width modulation controller is electrically connected to the gate electrode of the transistor, and configured to control the turn…
