Abstract

A string of LED loads is supplied by means of a rectified mains voltage. A cathode of each LED load is coupled to ground by means of a string. The strings are made conductive and non-conductive one by one in dependency of the instantaneous value of the rectified mains using both voltage and current sensing.
