Abstract: The invention proposes a driver module for driving LEDs, wherein the driver module comprises: —a rectifier (D1) for generating a supply voltage by rectifying an input AC voltage (Vin), —a load path with nodes (B, C) for connecting an LED string (10) comprising one or a plurality of LEDs (D), —a current source (IS1) coupled with the load path for generating a preferably constant current for the load path, and—a capacitive unit comprising at least two capacitors (C1, C2) for storing electrical energy from the rectifier (D1) during a charging phase and for providing electrical energy to the load path during a discharging phase, wherein the capacitive arrangement (11, 11?, 11?) is configured such that the two capacitors (C1, C2) are in a parallel arrangement (11) in the charging phase and in a serial arrangement (11?) in the discharging phase.
