Power factor correction for LED drivers

A lighting device comprising:

• a connection to an AC main;
• driver electronics comprising at least two control circuits and a power factor correction circuit, the at least two circuits including a first control circuit that is communication with a feedback sensor within the driver electronics for measuring power usage from the power factor correction circuit, and a second control circuit including an integrated wireless communications radio for converting data into a wireless control protocol, the power factor correction circuit including a switch coupled between a high voltage rail and a ground rail, and a transformer between the high voltage rail and the switch, the transformer isolating a primary side of the power factor correction circuit that is in electrical communication with an input from the AC main from the second side of the power correction circuit that provides an output of the power factor correction circuit, wherein switching the switch for one or more half cycles of input current causes power at the output to decrease while substantially maintaining an amplitude of input current, the switching of the switch having a frequency that corresponds to a ratio of input to output power measured from the feedback sensor in the first control circuit;
• and
• a solid state lighting source in electrical communication with said output of the power factor correction circuit, wherein said power at the output activates said solid state lighting source to emit light.
