  • Patent number: 11983973
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the field of lighting and more specifically, to a Bluetooth low energy mesh enabled adaptive light emitting diode (LED) driver with wireless battery powered switches for lighting control. In an aspect, the LED driver can include a rectifier (104); a switch mode power supply (106), a wireless Bluetooth and microcontroller board (110) and a portable wireless switch (506). The rectifier (104) can convert AC mains (102) to a DC level. The switch mode power supply circuit (106) can supply a constant voltage output followed by a constant current supply (108) for the LED load. The wireless Bluetooth module (110) can be connected in a mesh topology to other LED drivers, wireless switches and the smartphone. The microcontroller circuit (110) can enable the user to adjust the current level supplied to the LED Load using both analogue and PWM dimming techniques (112).
