The present invention relates to a light-emitting diode (LED) driving circuit for lighting, which divides a specific pattern of driving data for a number of sections within one period or a half period of driving power, stores the divided data in a driving data storage device, and drives LEDs connected in series in an LED array unit using the driving data so as to drive the LEDs with high efficiency, a high power factor, and low total harmonic distortion (HTD).
