摘要： A lighting circuit for high-pressure discharge lamp or high-pressure discharge lamp for vehicular use including a DC voltage booster circuit, a voltage detector, a current detector, an a control circuit. The booster circuit boosts the input voltage from a DC voltage input terminal to provide an output voltage that is converted into an AC voltage to be applied to a high-pressure discharge lamp. The voltage detector detects the output voltage of the booster circuit. The current detector detects an output current of the booster circuit. The control circuit applies a control signal corresponding to signals from the voltage detector and the current detector to control the output voltage of the booster circuit. The control circuit, the voltage detector and the current detector constitute a feedback system for the booster circuit. Also, in lighting the discharge lamp from a cool state, therefore, the operation of the timer circuit causes transition to constant power control using rated power after execution of control so as to supply power exceeding the rated power to the output voltage detector and the output current detector sequentially.

摘要： A lighting circuit for a metallic halide lamp for vehicular headlight applications is disclosed. Included are a pair of input terminals between which a battery is connected for feeding the lamp via a normally open relay switch which is closed upon energization of an associated relay coil. The relay coil is connected in series with an operator actuated lamp switch and a protection switch, so that both lamp switch and protection switch must be closed to energize the relay coil and hence to close the relay switch. The protection switch is automatically opened to deenergize the relay coil when the battery develops overvoltage or when the lamp will not glow upon closure of the lamp switch. In an alternate embodiment, the protection switch is also opened in response to the development of overcurrent or overvoltage by a d.c. voltage booster circuit included in the lighting circuit.

摘要： A vehicle light apparatus 1 includes a discharge lamp 7 as a dipped (low)-beam light source and a high-beam light source or a light source of an auxiliary light (incandescent lamp) 3 as a substitutional light source of the discharge lamp. If the apparatus detects an input voltage from a power supply becoming equal to or greater than a threshold value in a state that only the discharge lamp is lit, the incandescent lamp is automatically lit on. To use the high-beam light source in place of the discharge lamp, light extinction lighting is performed or the light application direction is directed downward from the horizontal direction.

摘要： A lighting circuit for a vehicular discharge lamp for lighting a discharge lamp using a DC power supply, comprises an OFF state detector, a DC input voltage detector and a power cutoff means. The OFF state detector detects an OFF status of a discharge lamp. The DC input voltage detector detects if a DC input voltage is within a predetermined range. The power cutoff means inhibits power supply to the discharge lamp when the OFF status of the discharge lamp is detected by the OFF state detector and the DC input voltage lying off the predetermined range is detected by the DC input voltage detector, and permits power supply to the discharge lamp upon reception of a signal indicating that the DC input voltage has returned within that range.

摘要： A hybrid IC of electronic circuit for a discharge lamp is disposed on the bottom of a metal case. A transformer, an inductor, a transformer, and a capacitor are disposed in a resin case. The resin case is contained in a metal case. In this instance, the transformer, the inductor, the transformer, and the capacitor are located outside the outer periphery of the IC so that the IC does not overlap on the transformer and other components. The transformer for a starter circuit has a secondary winding the inductance of which is 2.5 mH or larger, and a capacitance of a smoothing capacitor of a DC—DC converter is 0.5 &mgr;F or smaller. The switching frequency f of a MOS transistor is selected so that L2×C1 is equal to or larger than 1×10−1×f−1.68.

摘要： In a lighting circuit, a battery voltage is sent via a DC power supply section to a DC-AC converter to be converted to a square-wave AC voltage which is in turn supplied to a discharge lamp. The lighting circuit comprises an auxiliary power supply section for producing a predetermined voltage based on the input voltage from a battery and supplying this predetermined voltage to the individual sections of the lighting circuit and an abnormality detection circuit for detecting an abnormality in the discharge lamp, the circuit status, the battery voltage and so forth. In accordance with a signal from the abnormality detection circuit, a switch section, which is provided on a current line whose current is smaller than a current flowing on a power supply line to the discharge lamp, is switched on or off to enable or disable the auxiliary power supply section, thereby permitting or inhibiting power supply to the discharge lamp.
