I have designed a SEPIC based LED driver which gives 60 volts, 350 mA constant output with a good power factor. It is connected with 220 volts AC source. Then I have used full-wave rectifier. After rectification I have used SEPIC converter for desired output (60 volts, 350 mA) with good P.F. But here I feel the problem of its high starting current in the SEPIC converter. The starting current through MOSFET and inductor L2 is very high (18A).Steady state current of those branches are within 2A. I want to make the circuit in hardware. How can I limit the starting current of those branches around 2A? For better understanding fig. is given below-
