Abstract
A Light Emitting Diode, LED, driver arranged for driving at least one LED, said LED driver comprising a rectifier arranged for receiving an Alternating Current, AC, supply voltage and for providing an output Direct Current, DC, voltage to said at least one LED, a voltage regulating branch arranged for controlling an LED voltage provided to said at least one LED, via a supply line, wherein said voltage regulating branch is arranged for receiving said DC voltage from said rectifier, wherein said voltage regulating branch comprises, a capacitor arranged for providing said LED voltage to said at least one LED, a current limiter, connected in series with said capacitor, and arranged for charging said capacitor thereby providing said LED voltage and a feedback circuit arranged for controlling the charging of said capacitor by said current limiter, and thereby controlling the LED voltage provided to said at least one LED, by regulating a minimum residual headroom voltage present on a LED current limiter coupled in series with said at least one LED.
