Abstract:
1. A supply assembly for a LED lighting module comprising: a direct current (DC) voltage source having a first and a second supply terminal; a series arrangement of a diode and a controllable switch connected across the first and second supply terminals of the DC voltage source; an inductor connecting the first supply terminal of the DC voltage source to a first output terminal, a node between the diode and the controllable switch forming a second output terminal, said LED lighting module being connectable between the first and second output terminals; and a controller for controlling the switching of the controllable switch, said controller having means for supplying a dual pulse-width modulated switching signal to said controllable switch at two frequencies including a high frequency pulse-width modulated switching signal component for controlling a magnitude of an LED current in said LED lighting module, and a low frequency pulse-width modulated switching signal component for controlling a duration of the LED current.
