A recessed light fixture includes an LED module, which includes a single LED package that is configured to generate all light emitted by the recessed light fixture. For example, the LED package can include multiple LEDs mounted to a common substrate. The LED package can be coupled to a heat sink for dissipating heat from the LEDs. The heat sink can include a core member from which fins extend. Each fin can include one or more straight and/or curved portions. A reflector housing may be coupled to the heat sink and configured to receive a reflector. The reflector can have any geometry, such as a bell-shaped geometry including two radii of curvature that join together at an inflection point. An optic coupler can be coupled to the reflector housing and configured to cover electrical connections at the substrate and to guide light emitted by the LED package.

The present disclosure provides a power factor improvement circuit with a DC/DC converter including an arithmetic circuit. A first voltage having a full-wave rectified waveform is received by an input voltage detection terminal of the power factor improvement circuit. A second voltage is generated by amplifying an error between a first detection voltage and a reference voltage according to an output voltage of the DC/DC converter. A third voltage is generated by multiplying the first voltage by the second voltage. The arithmetic circuit adds an offset voltage to a third voltage to generate a fourth voltage. A comparator is configured to compare a second detection voltage with the fourth voltage. A drive circuit is configured to turn on/off drive of the switching transistor according to an output of the comparator. When the second detection voltage is higher than the fourth voltage, the switching transistor is turned off.

A converter for driving a load has a main switch for controlling, at a switching frequency, the path of current flow through a power inductor and power commutation thereof so as to provide an output. A hysteretic control circuit generates a burst signal for turning on and off the power commutation to implement a burst mode operation with a burst frequency lower than the switching frequency. An adjusting circuit adjusts the upper threshold and/or the lower threshold of the hysteretic control in dependence on the detected burst signal. This burst mode hysteresis controlled converter in this way has the hysteresis adapted in dependence on the load being driven so that load regulation problems are reduced.
