Abstract: There are provided a light driving apparatus capable of being commonly used in various types of dimmers, and a driving method therefor. The light driving apparatus includes: a driving unit supplying driving power to a light emitting device according to controlling to drive the light emitting device; and a general-purpose dimming controlling unit controlling dimming of the light emitting device by converting a range of a brightness control signal of an external dimmer into a first voltage range according to a preset ratio to control the supply of power from the driving unit.

Abstract: There are provided a dimming control apparatus, a lighting system driving apparatus, and a dimming control method, the dimming control apparatus including a voltage converting unit converting a dimming signal from a dimmer into dimming voltage, an analog-to-digital (A/D) converting unit converting the dimming voltage into a digital dimming value, a dimming setting unit determining whether or not the digital dimming value is included in a preset dimming value range, and when the digital dimming value is not included in the preset dimming value range, resetting the dimming value range so as to allow the digital dimming value to be included in the reset dimming value range, a memory unit storing a dimming control value corresponding to the digital dimming value, and a dimming control unit generating a dimming control signal based on the dimming control value corresponding to the digital dimming value from the A/D converting unit.

Abstract: A primary side regulation (PSR) type light emitting diode (LED) driving apparatus may be capable of precisely controlling output power. The LED driving apparatus may include: a power supplying unit converting an input power input to a primary side of the apparatus and supplying a driving power to the LED positioned on a secondary side of the apparatus; a secondary side feedback unit positioned on the secondary side and providing an output control signal based on a current flowing in the LED and a dimming signal; a dimmer positioned on the secondary side and providing the dimming signal; and a primary side feedback unit positioned on the primary side and transferring a feedback signal to the power supplying unit based on a detection signal obtained by indirectly detecting power induced in the secondary side and the output control signal.
