Title:
BLEEDER CIRCUIT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/013060
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Bleeder circuits (1) for combinations of phase cutting dimmers (2) and light emitting diode circuits (3) comprise active circuitry (4) to increase a number of options. The active circuitry (4) may comprise a current limiting circuit (5) for limiting a current flowing through the bleeder circuit (1). The active circuitry (4) may comprise a voltage detecting circuit (6) for activating or deactivating,in response to a detection result,the current limiting circuit (5) and may comprise control circuitry such as a micro processor circuit (7) for controlling the current limiting circuit (5) and may comprise a control circuit (9) for using information derived from a current flowing through the light emitting diode circuit (3) for controlling the current limiting circuit (5) and for controlling at least a part of the light emitting diode circuit (3) that comprises anti- parallel light emitting diodes (31-32) or serial and/or parallel light emitting diodes (33- 36).
