Abstract
A solid state light fixture includes a light emitting diode (LED) load and a driver circuit that is configured to supply a drive current to the LED load. The driver circuit may include a current supply module that is configured to reduce a drive current level during dimming of the solid state light fixture, where the current supply module is configured to operate in both a continuous conduction mode at a first dimming level and a discontinuous conduction mode at a second dimming level that is lower than the first dimming level.
