A device and a method for driving the supply of power to a plurality of light sources that is made up of a first group of light sources comprising at least one light source, which first group of light sources is connected in series with at least one second group of light sources comprising at least one light source. The device comprises a supply circuit to which the plurality of light sources is connected as a load. According to the inventive measures, it becomes possible to short at least one of the groups of light sources without causing high intensity transient current peaks in the light sources that are not shorted.
