Abstract (en)

Controllable output current is generated simultaneously for first semiconductor light-emitting means of first colour and second semiconductor light-emitting means of second colour. After receiving a colour setting command it is resolved how the currents through the first and second light-emitting means are to be set to match said colour setting command. One of the currents is set through constant current reduction and the other through pulse-based current reduction. The current to be set through constant current reduction is the one for channel-specific intensity between a maximum and threshold value and the current to be set through pulse-based current reduction is the one for channel-specific intensity between said threshold value and a minimum. Changes in set colour are implemented through reciprocal changes in said currents.
