Abstract:
The invention relates to a light emitting device (2) for retrofitting a fluorescent lamp comprising two sets of connecting pins (21, 23, 21′, 23′) for connecting the light emitting system (1) to a lighting fixture, one first (611) and one second (613) filament unit, encapsulated in a bulb and fed through it, electrically coupled to the connecting pins (611, 613) and a solid state light source connected between the filament units.
Abstract:
A tubular LED lighting device (10) comprising an LED, a driver (18) for driving the LED, and an electrical connector (14). The lighting device further comprises a thermally triggered switch (16) for prevention of overheating of the electrical connector. The thermally triggered switch is connected in series between the electrical connector and the driver, and the thermally triggered switch is configured to interrupt current in the event of the temperature of the electrical connector meeting a triggering condition. If a significant degree of arcing occurs the electrical connector will heat up such that the triggering condition will be met and the current flow between the electrical connector and the driver will be interrupted. There is also provided a luminaire (20) comprising the tubular LED lighting device.

Abstract:
The current invention relates to a LED lamp (10) comprising at least one LED light source (103), at least one driver (101) for powering the LED light source (103), at least one input rectifier with a plurality of diodes for converting an AC current from mains into a DC current, providing electrical power to the driver (101), the LED lamp (10) further comprising a safety module comprising one first and one second modules (F1, F2) for protection against overcurrent and overheating of the EM ballast, the first module (F1) being put in series with the driver (101) and designed to interrupt current in case the driver fails when the LED lamp (10) is directly connected to the mains, and the second module (F2) being designed to interrupt current when at least one of the diodes of the input rectifier fails when the lamp is connected to the mains via an EM ballast.
