ABSTRACT:
A lighting controller for a lighting device for a vehicle includes a semiconductor light source; a power source for supplying electric power; and control circuitry for controlling a supply of a current to the semiconductor light source. The control circuitry selectively supplies the current to the semiconductor light source through a resistance element or through a bypass circuit for bypassing the resistance element based on a determination of a state of the current. A method for controlling a lighting device for a vehicle includes receiving electric power from a power source; supplying a current to a semiconductor light source; determining a state of the current supplied to the semiconductor light source; and selectively supplying the current to the semiconductor light source through a resistance element or through a bypass circuit for bypassing the resistance element based on the determination of the state of the current.
