Abstract

The invention relates to an LED module (1), comprising: connections (2) for an LED array (3); a circuit (4) which is configured to constitute a load, preferably an effective power load, if during a starting phase a constant current or a constant voltage is applied to the LED module (1), and which is configured not to constitute a load when the starting phase has finished, wherein the circuit (4) is designed to constitute a variable-current load which effects a change in the power consumption of the LED module (1) according to at least one predetermined protocol effected.
