  • Patent number: 11778709
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a driving circuit and a lamp comprising the same. The driving circuit comprises inputs connected to a mains supply; outputs connected to an LED load; an output capacitor connected in parallel with the LED load; an LED driving current source connected to the outputs, and configured to convert the mains supply at the inputs to current at the outputs in an illumination mode, such that the current flows through the LED load and charges the output capacitor; and a control circuit configured to receive a standby signal to enable a standby mode, and to control the mains supply to linearly charge the output capacitor in the standby mode, such that an output voltage at the output can be lower than a turn-on voltage of the LED load and is higher than a preset lowest voltage.
