Abstract
A light device that makes it possible to detect a short-circuited light-emitting diode in a series assembly of a plurality of such diodes. By taking into account the junction temperature of the diodes, the device and the method associated therewith make it possible to avoid false positive short-circuit detections. The device is also capable of learning the operating parameters necessary to the detection independently and dynamically, which makes it particularly adaptive.
