Zusammenfassung:The invention provides a method for cycle-by-cycle control of a LED current (ILED) flowing through a LED circuit arrangement (LEDCIRC) at a mean LED current level. The method comprises a) establishing a converter current (IL), b) establishing an oscillation of the converter current (IL) between substantially a valley current level and substantially a peak current level, c) feeding the LED circuit arrangement (LEDCIRC) with the converter current (IL) as the LED current during a part of an oscillation cycle of the oscillation of the converter current, d) determining a current level correction for compensating a current level error between an integral over an oscillation cycle of the LED current and a reference, the reference being representative of the mean LED current level, and e) adjusting at least one of the valley current level and the peak current level with the current level correction for use in a successive cycle of the oscillation of the converter current. The invention also provides a circuit arrangement operable for using the method, a LED driver IC using the circuit arrangement, a circuit composition with at least one LED and the circuit arrangement, and a lighting system with the circuit composition.
