Furthermore, a method for controlling such a light source as well as a lighting device with such a light source, beispielswei ⁇ se for backlighting a display.
- the object is achieved by a method for operating an LED lighting device, wherein the LED lighting device has at least:
- each color channel comprises at least one light emitting diode (LED) of the same color and wherein each color channel ge ⁇ separates or individually controlled, and
- LED light emitting diode
- At least one photodetector which is adapted and arranged to detect a portion of a deriver light from the LEDs
- the at least two color channels may also comprise different color channels of the same color.
- Each color channel comprises one or more LEDs of the same color, e.g. connected in series or in parallel.

- the Rei ⁇ hen the time-sequentially driven color channels may be the same for a plurality of measurement phases or may be different.
- the above method has the advantage that the luminous flux detected by the photodetector can be assigned unambiguously and with high accuracy to a specific color channel by the sequential (sequential) driving of the color channels. This eliminates an effort to faulty disconnecting or reconstructing the luminous flux the individual color channels. This can be, for example, to ver ⁇ turns, a correlation between a current through a color channel and to determine the consequent light intensity or light power resulting this color channel. In order to re example, during the operational phase a desired color location and / or a desired intensity exactly he ⁇ be set or adjusted.
- each color channel is controlled separately by means of a pulse width modulation so that a ratio of pulse widths of the color channels during the measurement phase substantially speaks a ratio of the pulse widths of the color channels during the operating phase ent ⁇ .
- the same color impression to the operating phase is thus achieved by setting a similar or same pulse width, which is particularly easy to accomplish.
- a Ström God for Eden of the color channels separately provides turned so ⁇ is that a ratio of power levels of the Farbkanä ⁇ le during the measurement phase is essentially a ratio of the Current heights of the color channels during the operating phase ent ⁇ speaks.

This may be the case, for example, if a light mixer, such as a diffuser, a beam-forming optic, etc., is connected downstream of the LED lighting device, which reflects back a comparatively large amount of light. As a result, the photodetector can be saturated so that in the measurement phase there is no longer any meaningful correlation between a drive signal of a color channel and its luminous flux. It is still an embodiment that the measurement phase has, in addition to the step of driving the color channels, a step of not driving all the color channels.

- This effect can be particularly effectively suppressed if a time period between two measurement phases is nondeterministic, eg random or pseudorandom.
- a sensor signal output by the at least one photodetector during the measurement phase is used at least in sections to adapt an activation in a subsequent operating phase. This can e.g. done in the form of a feedback.
- the result can be used to calculate and / or readjust the amount of light required to reach the color location in a control loop.
- the color channels in the measurement phase in Rei ⁇ hen in the measurement phase in Rei ⁇ hen merge the brightness of the color channels, preferably in abstei ⁇ gender order to drive. If an adjustment of brightness is carried out by driving the power source, the time period required for the current source in order to reach the gewünsch ⁇ th power value is critical for the Zeitdau he ⁇ the measurement. This may vary depending on the current source in the rise or the fall.
