Abstract:
A method for operating a lighting device having multiple light sources may include determining a measure of a supply voltage and switching the light sources into one or more parallel strands, wherein the light sources in each strand are connected in series, in each case according to the measured value of the supply voltage. Automatic determination of a number of light sources in at least one of the strands, the number corresponding to the largest whole number which, when multiplied by a specifiable forward voltage of each of the light sources, is less than the measured value of the supply voltage. During switching of the light sources the exact number of light sources determined in the at least one strand is connected in series.

Claim (Index 12):
The motor vehicle having the lighting device as claimed in  claim 10 , which has a separate linear driver or resistance driver for each strand for the electrical supply of the light sources.
