    摘要: A dynamically optimized ballast includes a ballast and a circuit board as main components combined together. Said circuit board is provided with a microcontroller, a timer and a current-switching device; wherein said microcontroller is provided with a timed step-up module which can start the timer and maintain a low current output to HID lamp at the time the circuit board is powered, and the timer will transmit a signal to the microcontroller to start the current-switching device and automatically switch to a high current output to HID lamp when a preset time of the timer has been reached. So that this invention can protect HID lamp and extend the service life of HID lamp, even the HID lamp pulsing for a long time, the power source repeated power supply and power out will not cause great damage to HID lamp and it will not be out of function. Besides, this invention enables user to reduce the brightness of HID lamp to reduce the loss of electric power and the deterioration of HID lamp.

    摘要: In an aspect of a discharge lamp driving device, a control unit performs first discharge lamp driving in which a first control and a second control are performed, and a second discharge lamp driving in which a third control and a fourth control are performed, a ratio of a DC current in the second control is higher than a ratio of the DC current in the first control, a ratio of the DC current in the fourth control is higher than a ratio of the DC current in the third control and is higher than the ratio of the DC current in the second control, and the control unit performs a transition from the second discharge lamp driving to the first discharge lamp driving in a case where an inter-electrode voltage is lower than a first reverse transition voltage.

    摘要: An electronic dimming ballast or light emitting diode (LED) driver for driving a gas discharge lamp or LED lamp may be operable to control the lamp to avoid flickering and flashing of the lamp during low temperature or low mercury conditions. Such a ballast or driver may include a control circuit that is operable to adjust the intensity of the lamp. Adjusting the intensity of the lamp may include decreasing the intensity of the lamp. The control circuit may be operable to stop adjustment of the intensity of the lamp if a magnitude of the lamp voltage across the lamp is greater than an upper threshold, and subsequently begin to adjust the intensity of the lamp when the lamp voltage across the lamp is less than a lower threshold. Subsequently beginning to adjust the intensity of the lamp may include subsequently decreasing the intensity of the lamp.
