Abstract:
A dimmable light-emitting diode (LED) lamp and a dimmable LED lighting apparatus thereof are provided. The dimmable LED lamp includes a bridge rectifier, a toggle detector, a sustain voltage supply circuit, a counter, an LED light source, and an LED lighting driver. The bridge rectifier receives a source alternating current (AC) voltage through a wall switch and provides a rectified direct current (DC) voltage. The toggle detector monitors a toggle action of the wall switch. The sustain voltage supply circuit provides a sustain voltage. The counter receives the sustain voltage for operation. Moreover, the counter stores and provides an counting value that changes when the toggle detector detects the toggle action. The LED lighting driver converts the rectified DC voltage to a constant current to drive the LED light source. The LED lighting driver also provides multi-level dimming to the LED light source according to the counting value.
