[0019] Figure 2In the technical scheme, VIN is a power voltage input end (a direct current power supply, generally ≤24V); LED+ is an output positive pole of the circuit, and is connected with an anode of the LED; LED- is an output negative pole of the circuit, and is connected with a cathode of the LED; Q1, R4, R7 and R2 form a driven constant current unit; Q2, R5 and R8 form another driven constant current unit; the two constant current units are in parallel connection; the technical scheme of the utility model is not limited to a single constant current unit and multiple constant current units in parallel connection; R1 is a base driving resistor; R2 and R3 are base limiting resistors of Q1 and Q2 respectively; R4 and R5 are shunt resistors of Q1 and Q2 respectively; R7 and R8 are sampling resistors of Q1 and Q2 respectively; for the convenience of description, the driven constant current unit formed by Q1, R4, R7 and R2 is described in detail.
