A gas discharge lamp driver circuit, comprising an inverter (10) of a bridge type, which has first and second input terminals connected to DC power lines (6, 8) for receiving a DC power voltage and output terminals (18) for providing a substantial rectangular power voltage, a ballast (20), which is connected to the output terminals of the inverter and to one or more lamp circuits (30), each having a gas discharge lamp (32) connected in series with a current control circuit having a high frequency semiconductor switch element (34), which receives an individual selection signal (S1, S2) from a selection circuit (36), such that an individual lamp (32) can be selected to operate. If deselected, the switch element conducts such that current is diverted to a selected switch element to thereby only ignite and operate a lamp connected to a selected switch element.

The present invention relates to a power control device for controlling the output power supplied to a discharge lamp operated by an electrical power supply, comprising power level determining means for determining the actual lamp power level, error determining means for determining the error between the determined lamp power level and a specified reference power level, and output power determining means for maintaining the output power level supplied by the electrical power supply to the lamp if the error falls within a specified window and for adjusting the output power level supplied by the electrical power supply to the lamp towards said reference power level if the error falls outside the specified window.

The invention concerns a circuit arrangement for igniting and operating an electrodeless gas discharge lamp by means of a high operating frequency drive voltage, comprising a half-bridge commutator having two switching elements each having an emitter electrode and a control electrode. The said switching elements are alternately switched to a conducting state by means of a resonant control circuit, which is coupled to an oscillator via a transformer. The said resonant control circuit comprises capacitor means forming part of said oscillator and a driver stage driven by an oscillator, the driver being of the class-E type. A DC supply voltage is supplied to the driver via a current-limiting circuit. The amplitude of the high frequency drive voltage is substantially constant in a chosen frequency range.

The present invention deals with a lighting control system suitable for small system configurations such as in offices and conference rooms. One or more luminaires are communicatively connected in an addressable digital bus system as well as to a unit including a processing means. In connection with installation of the device, the processing means is programmed to automatically assign a digital address to each luminaire and further to automatically identify a spatial position of each luminaire by use of light measuring cells. A relationship between the digital address and the spatial position of each luminaire is thereby provided. Furthermore, the device supports the functionality of installing pre-programmed lighting scenes suitable for the determined configuration of the luminaires as well as other factors such as the position of a window.

A back light emitter (4) of a display apparatus is supplied with alternating current (AC) bursts. An emitted light representing signal is generated from the AC bursts as supplied to the light emitter (4). The emitted light representing signal is compared with a reference signal REF to provide an error signal. A duration of the AC bursts is adjusted dependent on the error signal, such as to minimize the error signal.
