Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by providing each partition with a dedicated power supply module that delivers voltage and current optimized for that specific location's requirements. This eliminates the need to increase voltage system-wide to compensate for line loss in distant partitions, as each partition receives precisely the power it needs, reducing energy waste and heat generation while ensuring reliable LED operation.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the power supply system into multiple independent modules, each capable of providing different voltage and current parameters. This allows each module to be optimized for specific LED batches or partitions with different electrical characteristics, accommodating voltage variations across different LED batches without forcing a high-voltage solution on all LEDs, thereby preventing energy waste while maintaining versatility.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements parameter changes by allowing each power supply module to independently adjust its output voltage and current based on the specific requirements of its partition. This enables the system to adapt to different LED batches with varying voltage characteristics, providing precise parameter matching that improves energy efficiency while maintaining broad compatibility across different LED types and batches.
