FIELD: electricity.
SUBSTANCE: invention is referred to lighting devices and control of the lighting devices operation. The result is attained due to determining of maximum and minimum angles of a dimmer (204) connected to a power converter (220) during the operation of a solid-state lighting load (240); and dynamic regulation of the output power for the power converter based on the determined maximum and minimum angles of the dimmer. The regulated output power of the power converter regulates the upper level of the light output by a load of solid-state lighting at the maximum phase angle so that the preset upper limit value is met and regulates the lower level of the light output by a load of solid-state lighting at the minimum phase angle so that the preset lower limit value is met.
EFFECT: control of the power converter in order to ensure an equal range of light control to the load of solid-state lighting notwithstanding the type of the dimmer.
