Abstract

A light-emitting diode (LED) drive method, an LED drive circuit, and an LED lighting device are provided. The method includes: setting preset values of a maximum on-time parameter and a current limit parameter, where the preset values are in at least two sets; selecting a set of the preset values of the maximum on-time parameter and the current limit parameter after a value of a voltage signal on a direct current (DC) bus is detected; controlling a drive current flowing through an LED load based on a selected maximum on-time parameter and a selected current limit parameter. The maximum on-time parameter and the current limit parameter of the system can be adaptively adjusted according to an input voltage, so that the system can have a preferred dimming schedule and dimming depth while realizing a constant current in a wider input voltage range.
