Abstract (en)

A LED lamp brightness adjusting circuit has a regulating circuit (10), multiple rectification diodes (D1, D2) and filtering capacitors (C1, C2). Each filtering capacitor (C1, C2) is connectable to a LED module in parallel (20, 30). The LED lamp brightness adjusting circuit is connected to an output terminal of a light regulator (102). Based on the control of light regulator (102), the regulating circuit (10) produces a regulated AC input voltage. The positive and negative half cycles of the regulated AC input voltage are further rectified and filtered to drive different corresponding LED modules (20, 30). Therefore, the amplitude of the drive voltages for the LED modules (20, 30) are controllable to adjust the brightness of the emitted light.
