Abstract
Disclosed is a driver that include a switching circuit for guiding current signal during time-intervals for the sequential driving of light emitting circuit. The time-intervals are defined by the fact that amplitudes of a mains signal are in ranges during the time-intervals. More specifically, there is a bypass switching circuit for guiding a bypass current signal which bypasses all light emitting circuit during an initial time-interval. An adaptation circuit adapts amplitudes of the respective current signals during the respective time-intervals, to reduce a total harmonic distortion. Said adapting may comprise an adaptation in response to information derived from the amplitude of the mains signal, and may comprise shaping the amplitudes of the current signals in response to information derived from the amplitude of the mains signal.
