Abstract:
A circuit for driving a light source includes a power converter coupled between a power source and the light source, and a controller coupled to the power converter. The power converter receives power from the power source and provides a regulated power to the light source. The controller receives a conduction status signal indicating a conduction state of a dimmer coupled between the power source and the power converter, and adjusts the brightness of the light source based on the conduction status signal. The controller also receives an operation indicating signal indicative of operation of an ON/OFF switch coupled to the dimmer, and adjusts color temperature of the light source based on the operation indicating signal.
