optoelectronic circuit intended to receive a variable voltage containing an alternation of rising and falling phases. The optoelectronic circuit includes light-emitting diodes and a switching device capable of allowing or of interrupting the flowing of a current through each light-emitting diode. Each light-emitting diode is covered with a photoluminescent layer. The photoluminescent layer covering at least one of the light-emitting diodes includes at least one first luminophore having a first decay constant and at least one second luminophore having a second decay constant different from the first decay constant.

A lighting system includes an LED downlight mountable to a ceiling, a driver, and an insulation displacement connector (IDC). Light from the downlight can be faced downward to project light or upward to reflect light off of the ceiling. The driver has an input with a first voltage and an output with a second voltage, the second voltage being lower than the first and being provided through a wire system extending from the LED driver. The IDC connects the downlight to the wire system. The lighting system can be changed from a first to a second configuration by at least one of adding an additional downlight using a corresponding IDC or removing an existing downlight using a corresponding IDC. The second configuration does not significantly affect a desired output range of light from any downlight or any LED circuit of any downlight that remains or preexists from the first configuration.
