Abstract (en)

The arrangement has terminals (A, A2) provided for respective filaments of an electric lamp (LP). A lamp supply unit supplies power to the lamp. A light emitting diode (LED) supply unit (10) is coupled to one terminal of the lamp and supplies power to an LED. A zener diode (Z1) is connected in parallel with the LED. A rectifier is designed to provide a rectified signal at an output of the LED supply unit. A smoothing inductor is connected in series with the LED. Transformation ratio of a transformer and capacitance of capacitors are selected to set properties of light output by the LED. An independent claim is also included for a method of operating a light-emitting diode (LED) and an electric lamp.
