摘要: A lighting driver is for receiving an alternating current power supply from a fluorescent lighting ballast. A shunt device is provided for selectively shunting the power supply to implement dimming control. A detector is provided for generating a detection signal and for providing the detection signal to the control circuit to operate the shunt device. The detector has a detection circuit for analyzing a voltage at the driver input and generating 5 the detection signal accordingly, when the voltage is detected. In addition, for situations where the voltage detection does not correctly generate the detection signal, a correction circuit generates the detection signal for a time delay from the end of operating the shunt device. This prevents control stability problems at low dimming levels.

摘要: There is proposed an interface circuit for connecting an electronic ballast to a lighting arrangement, in which control of a coupling configuration of the interface circuit is dependent upon a frequency of the electronic ballast. In particular, a coupling configuration of the interface circuit is controlled by a control arrangement based on the ballast frequency.

摘要: An LED driver for an LED lamp, which also comprises an LED load. The LED driver is adapted to connect to an input source at a first and second terminal. The LED driver comprises a switching arrangement configured to enable a controller to control at least a magnitude and phase of the voltage between the first and second terminals. The phase of the voltage between the first and second terminals may be defined to control an amount of power that flows from the input source to power the LED lamp.

摘要: A lamp has a safety circuit connected to first and second electrical connection terminals. A test is used to detect if the first and second electrical connection terminals are both connected to external power without an interfering impedance such a human body, and only then enable operation of the lamp. A time for the test is different from a time when another lamp in the system applies a test.

摘要: A retrofit tubular lighting device (7), comprising first (p1, p2) and second connection pins (p3, p4), a first (12) and second filament emulation circuit (13) coupled to the first (p1, p2) and second connection pins (p3, p4) respectively, a lighting element (4), a driver (3) coupled to the first (12) and second filament emulation circuit (13), a battery (5) and the lighting element (4). The driver (3) provides a charge to the lighting element (4) and the battery (5). The battery (5) stores the charge provided by the driver (3) and provides charge to the lighting element (4). A communication device sends a first charging signal to another lighting device comprising a further battery and coupled to the electronic ballast, when the charge of the battery (5) is below a first threshold. The communication device receives a second charging signal from the other lighting device, wherein the second charging signal indicates that a further charge of the further battery is below a second threshold. At least one of the first and second filament emulation circuit provides power from the electronic ballast (2) to the driver (3) when the communication device receives the second charging signal.
