L6561 Flyback LED Driver

I'm using an L6561 to build a flyback circuit to control an LED with constant current. The input voltage is 220VAC 50Hz. The output controlling the LED is 12V 0.15A. I tested it with 12V 0.7A and the circuit worked very well with a power factor (PF) of 0.96 and THDI <10%. However, when testing with 12V 0.15A, the PF was 0.68 and THDI was around 40%. Could it be that the L6562 doesn't have a good power factor under light load?
