I've not finished editing the description for this video. I thought I'd drop it early, since it's such a radical twist on integration.

The main chips involved in the control are optimised for simplicity and an amazingly good power factor (current to voltage relationship).

One notable mistake is that I implied that the Acrich chips have a 0-10V analogue control. It's actually 2V.

Very advanced Indo street light

First correction - the ACRICH (AC-rich) chips have a 2V analogue input, so a microcontroller can drive that directly without level shifting. The power factor is a stunning 0.99 due to the way the LED current rides the sinewave in sync with the voltage.
