Abstract

See full text

A circuit assembly for operating at least a first and a second cascade of LEDs is disclosed. The LED cascades have a different number of LEDs. The LED cascades are operated in alternation by means of a suitable control logic, the operation being adapted to the instantaneous value of the rectified alternating supply voltage. The LED cascades are associated with LED units, wherein each LED unit includes a control device for controlling the particular LED cascade. The LED units are coupled in series between the two input connections, wherein the input connections are formed by the output of a rectifier. A linear controller is provided in series with the LED cascades, which linear controller is controlled via a voltage divider, which is coupled between the two input connections. For adaptation to different alternating supply voltages, a switching device is associated with at least the highest LED cascade.
