A new low-cost energy-saving concept in the modern light-emitting diode (LED) illumination system is developed and implemented using an isolated single-ended primary inductance converter (SEPIC). The dimming scheme presented in this study is a single-step with negligible distortion in the AC mains current as compared to the traditional low-cost triode for alternating current (TRIAC) dimming system, which distorts the AC mains current wave-shape beyond sinusoidal nature due to the phase-cut techniques. This dimming concept is completely retrofitted, no additional arrangement is required to initiate the dimming as compared to a TRIAC dimmer or other controllers. The isolated SEPIC converter is modelled and analysed in detail using the state-space average technique. The stability of the designed converter and overall closed-loop control are verified using Bode-plot analysis. The full load converter efficiency is found around 93%, which is much higher than the conventional flyback topology-based LED driver. The concept presented in this study is tested with the help of a laboratory prototype with an LED load of 60 W.
