Abstract:
1. A system configured to provide current to power a solid-state light emitting diode in accordance with a dimming level, wherein the dimming level corresponds to an amount of light provided from the solid-state light emitting diode, the system comprising: a transformer comprising a coil, wherein the transformer is configured to receive a first current, and wherein the coil is configured to, based on the first current, output a second current to power the solid-state light emitting diode; and a switch configured to, based on the dimming level that corresponds to the amount of light provided from the solid-state light emitting diode, bleed a portion of the second current out of the coil to a ground reference in order to divert the portion of the second current from being supplied to the solid-state light emitting diode.
