Abstract:
An electric device including light sources and a light driver including at least a control output, the light driver being configured to selectively activate or deactivate current flow in each control output. The electric device also includes at least one current sink device, each current sink device being arranged between one of the light sources and one of the control outputs. Each current sink device includes a first input, a second input, a first output and a second output, the first and second inputs being connected to the light source and the first output being connected to the corresponding control output. A first current portion passes through the first input and the first output, and a second current portion passes through the second input.

Claim (Index 1):
Electric device for an automotive lighting device, the electric device comprising\n a plurality of light sources configured to be electrically fed by a power source, each light source requiring a first predetermined current value to emit light; a light driver comprising an input configured to be electrically fed by the power source and at least a control output, the control output allowing a maximum output current value lower than the first predetermined current value, the light driver being configured to selectively activate or deactivate current flow in each control output; at least one current sink device, each current sink device being arranged between one of the light sources and one of the control outputs; wherein the light source is configured so that a first current passes through it, the first current being at least the first predetermined current value, the current sink device comprises a first input, a second input, a first output and a second output, the first and second inputs being connected to the light source and the first output being connected to the corresponding control output;\n the first input and the first output are arranged so that a first current portion passes through them when the circuit is in operation, this first current portion being lower or equal to the maximum output current value; \n the second input is arranged so that a second current portion passes through it when the circuit is in operation, this second current portion being equal or greater than the difference between the first predetermined current value and the maximum output current value.
