Abstract: An LED driver circuit that can regulate the input signal voltage so that the driver circuit can be used over wide input voltage range or at predetermined voltages. Discrete components are used to drive an LED array with a constant current. The LED driver circuit includes a dynamic current regulator. The dynamic current regulator includes a resistor and capacitor in parallel to provide dynamic current regulation to a switching mode power supply circuit that controls the LED illumination.
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a power control wiring device that includes an electronic switch circuit that energizes the electrical load in accordance with a timing regulation signal. A timing regulation circuit includes a primary timing regulation circuit and an auxiliary timing regulation circuit. The circuit is adjustable between a minimum power setting and a maximum power setting to thereby generate an adjustable primary timing regulation signal. The timing regulation circuit also generates an auxiliary timing regulation signal to thereby reduce power consumption. A primary manual power control mechanism is configured to adjust the primary timing regulation circuit between the minimum power setting and the maximum power setting. An auxiliary manual power control mechanism is configured to trim the maximum power setting in accordance with the selectable trim adjustment, the at least one auxiliary manual power control mechanism being user accessible.
