Abstract:
1. A light emitting diode (LED) lamp, comprising: one or more LEDs configured to emit light in accordance with current flowing through the LEDs; and a LED lamp controller configured to generate a control signal for regulating the current flowing through the LEDs, the LED lamp controller operating in power cycles according to a voltage level of a supply voltage, each power cycle including a configuration state during which one or more parameters affecting operation of the LED lamp controller are initialized, wherein the LED lamp controller is configured to detect a type of a fault condition of the LED lamp during a first power cycle of the power cycles, and wherein the LED lamp controller is configured to prevent completion of the configuration state in second power cycles of the power cycles that are subsequent to the first power cycle, the LED lamp controller configured to control a number of the second power cycles during which completion of the configuration state is prevented based on the type of the fault condition.
