Abstract: A method for limiting current in-rush in automotive lighting devices. By controlling the state of a switching circuit that is used to selectively connect a power supply to an automotive lighting device, the invention allows for selectively limiting the intensity of the current that is supplied to the lighting device. In accordance with preferred embodiments, this advantage is achieved by relying on electronic components that are nowadays used for different purposes.
