Abstract

A load control circuit having an input terminal adapted to receive any one of a number of different input voltage signals including signals of at least first and second type. These signals may be, respectively, DC and AC input signals. Control circuits are provided for operation of the load from the input voltage signal. This control circuit includes at least first part responsive only to said input voltage signal being of first type for coupling said signal of first type to the load, and a second part responsive only to the input voltage signal being of second type for coupling the signal of second type to the load.
