    Abstract: A method for driving one or more electrically powered light sources, such as LED modules, may include applying a pulse-width-modulated signal thereto having a pulse-repetition frequency and a duty-cycle, the duty-cycle being selectively variable in order to vary the intensity of light emitted by the light source or light sources. To counter the occurrence of temporal light artefacts, or TLAs, the method may include frequency modulating the pulse-width-modulated signal (VPWM) by varying the pulse-repetition frequency thereof around a certain value between a lower frequency value and a higher frequency value, thus giving rise to a signal with combined FM/PWM modulation.

    Abstract: Various embodiments may relate to a lighting system including a string of light sources connected in series between a first terminal and a second terminal, wherein at least one electrical contact of the string of light sources is accessible. The system further includes a protection circuit that protects the light sources from an electrostatic discharge applied to the electrical contact that is accessible. In particular, the protection circuit includes at least one TVS diode or set of antiparallel diodes connected to the second terminal, and for each electrical contact a respective capacitor connected between the respective electrical contact and a TVS diode or set of antiparallel diodes, in such a way that an electrostatic event applied to an electrical contact is discharged through the respective capacitor and the respective TVS diode or set of antiparallel diodes towards the second terminal.

    Abstract: A method of manufacturing support elements for lighting devices includes: providing an elongated, electrically non-conductive substrate with opposed surfaces, with an electrically-conductive layer extending along one of said opposed surfaces, etching said electrically-conductive layer to provide a set of electrically-conductive tracks extending along the non-conductive substrate with at least one portion of the non-conductive substrate left free by the set of electrically-conductive tracks, forming a network of electrically-conductive lines coupleable with at least one light radiation source at said portion of said non-conductive substrate left free by the electrically-conductive tracks. Said forming operation includes selectively removing e.g. via laser etching a further electrically-conductive layer provided on said non-conductive substrate, or printing electrically-conductive material onto the non-conductive substrate. The electrically-conductive tracks and the network of electrically-conductive lines may be coupled with each other e.g. by means of electrically-conductive vias extending through the non-conductive substrate.
