[0058] figure 2 It is a circuit block diagram of the LED lighting device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to figure 2 , the LED lighting device includes a first light emitting unit 201 , a second light emitting unit 202 , a driving unit 203 and a detection unit 204 . In order to illustrate the spirit of the present invention, the above-mentioned circuit also shows a power switch 205, and this power switch 205 represents the light switch on the wall of the general user's home. Both the first light emitting unit 201 and the second light emitting unit 202 are implemented by light emitting diodes. The difference is that the light emitting diodes used in the first light emitting unit 201 and the second light emitting unit 202 are light emitting units with different color temperatures. The first light emitting unit 201 emits, for example, a color temperature of 6000K (cool color temperature), and the second light emitting unit 202 emits, ...

Abstract

An LED lighting apparatus and a dimming method thereof are disclosed. The LED lighting apparatus is coupled to a power source through a power switch (205). The method includes providing a first lighting unit (201) and a second lighting unit (202); detecting whether or not the power switch (205) has been turned on; and gradually adjusting a light mixing ratio between the first lighting unit (201) and the second lighting unit (202) according to a turn-on duration of the power switch (205) and storing a color temperature value, accordingly.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a lighting device, and in particular to a dimmable lighting circuit and a lighting device having the same. Background technique [0002] Due to the progress of human civilization, lighting devices have become an indispensable item in daily life. In the early days, lighting devices were generally incandescent bulbs (tungsten bulbs). Therefore, in the past, if you want to adjust the light of the lighting device, you only need to set a variable resistor knob between the plug and the lamp, and adjust the variable resistor. Dimming is performed. However, the incandescent light bulb has disadvantages of heat generation, short life, low luminous efficiency, and large power consumption. [0003] Because LED (Light Emitting Diode) has the advantages of high luminous efficiency, long service life, not easy to damage, low power consumption, environmental protection and small size, under the trend of environmental protection and ...
