Abstract
An LED lighting system is provided. The LED lighting system includes a main transformer, a voltage detector, a current controller, a second reference voltage supplier, and a power factor compensation circuit. The main transformer transforms an input signal to supply the transformed input signal to an LED group. The voltage detector supplies a control voltage proportional to a level of an input voltage corresponding to the input signal. The current controller includes a first voltage storage, a negative voltage applier, a second voltage storage, switch, and a current control signal generator. The first voltage storage stores the control voltage supplied from the voltage detector or discharges a stored voltage. The negative voltage applier is connected to the first voltage storage, and connected to a ground to apply the control voltage to the ground when the control voltage is a negative voltage. The second voltage storage is connected to the first voltage storage, and stores the control voltage applied through the first voltage storage or discharges a stored voltage. The switch is connected to the second voltage storage, and activated by a driving signal to apply a ground voltage to…
