Abstract

An LED driving and dimming circuit and configuration method are provided. The circuit can include a switch connected to an AC power supply, an LED driver circuit connected to the switch, a switch-status detection circuit connected to the switch, and a brightness-selection circuit having one end connected to the switch-status detection circuit and another end connected to the LED driver circuit. The switch-status detection circuit is configured to detect whether the switch is open or closed and to output a detected result to the brightness-selection circuit. The LED driver circuit is configured to control a brightness level of the LED lighting device, according to a voltage result from the brightness-selection circuit.
