Abstract:
A load control device for regulating an average magnitude of a load current conducted through an electrical load may operate in different modes. The load control device may comprise a control circuit configured to activate an inverter circuit during an active state period and deactivate the inverter circuit during an inactive state period. In one mode, the control circuit may adjust the average magnitude of the load current by adjusting the inactive state period while keeping the active state period constant. In another mode, the control circuit may adjust the average magnitude of the load current by adjusting the active state period while keeping the inactive state period constant. In yet another mode, the control circuit may keep a duty cycle of the inverter circuit constant and regulate the average magnitude of the load current by adjusting a target load current conducted through the electrical load.

Claim (Index 18):
The method of  claim 17 , wherein the target intensity is within a first intensity range when the target intensity is less than the transition intensity and the length of the inactive state periods is equal to the minimum inactive state period, wherein the target intensity is within a second intensity range when the target intensity is less than the transition intensity and the length of the inactive state periods is greater than the minimum inactive state period, and wherein the second intensity range comprises intensity levels that are lower than the intensity levels comprised in the first intensity range.
