Claim Text:
1. A light-emitting diode module, comprising: a housing; at least one light-emitting diode; and at least one printed circuit board including an LED driver, a control module, and a circuit arrangement, the at least one printed circuit board being connected with the at least one light-emitting diode, wherein the LED driver provides an operating point for operation of the at least one light-emitting diode controlled by the control module, wherein the circuit arrangement comprises a DC/DC converter, wherein the DC/DC converter is an integrated down-converter and the circuit arrangement further comprises a bypass circuit connected in parallel to the integrated down-converter, the bypass circuit being controlled by a comparator circuit, and wherein the comparator circuit enables the bypass circuit when an input voltage applied to the circuit arrangement falls below a first threshold value and disables the bypass circuit when the input voltage exceeds a second threshold value.
