  • Patent number: 11284488
    Abstract: An assembly and a method is provided where the LED module includes a plurality of module units interconnected between common connection lines in a sequential order with increasing distances towards a connection terminal of the LED module. The circuit assembly includes an output terminal having a first output terminal portion and a second output terminal portion, a main power supply for supplying an operation voltage potential to a first output terminal portion, a control device for generating a pulse width modulation signal, and an electronic switch coupled to the control device and configured to obtain the pulse width modulation signal and arranged to connect and disconnect a second output terminal portion to/from a reference potential in accordance with the pulse width modulation signal, such as to supply a pulse width modulated voltage to the output terminal. A pulse shaping unit is coupled to the control device.

  • Patent number: 10371352
    Abstract: A lighting device, such as a LED module, comprising an elongated support structure having a longitudinal direction and electrically-powered light radiation sources distributed along the support structure, the support structure including at least one light-permeable layer, one or more optical signal sources coupled with the light-permeable layer, for injecting therein an optical signal propagating in the longitudinal direction, and one or more optical signal detectors coupled with the light-permeable layer, for detecting the optical signal injected by the optical signal source(s).
