A power converter for constant loads includes an energy transfer element, a switch, a controller, and a compensation circuit. The energy transfer element is coupled to receive a rectified voltage having a blocked portion that corresponds to a phase angle. The controller is coupled to control switching of the switch to regulate an output current of the power converter in response to a plurality of signals. The plurality of signals includes a peak input voltage signal and a feedback signal. The compensation circuit is coupled to output a compensation signal to adjust at least one of the plurality of signals in response to the phase angle exceeding a phase angle threshold. The compensation circuit does not output the compensation signal and does not adjust the at least one of the plurality of signals when the phase angle is less than the phase angle threshold.
