1. A lighting device, comprising:
- at least one halogen bulb, wherein each halogen bulb includes a cap;
a connector for each halogen bulb, wherein the cap of each halogen bulb is mounted on each connector; and
a switch-mode power supply device for each halogen bulb, each switch-mode power supply device being adapted to supply power to each halogen bulb and to regulate an output voltage from the switch-mode power supply device independent of a supply voltage to the switch-mode power supply device, each switch-mode power supply device comprising a regulating circuit for regulating the luminous flux provided by each halogen bulb, wherein each switch-mode power supply device is configured to minimize electromagnetic interference and dispersion of the supply voltage at the terminals of each halogen bulb whereby each switch-mode power supply device is integrated in one of the following manners;
integrated in the cap of each halogen bulb, or integrated in each connector.
