Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method based on microcontroller circuit and software codes to on line automatically detect the time phase of the threshold voltage of a lighting load in each AC half-cycle. This automatic detection capability enables a dimmer circuit of a lighting apparatus to establish a dimmer working range from the self-detected time phase of threshold voltage of the lighting load. The lighting apparatus can be operated with different types of lighting loads to perform a full dimming range from 0% to 100% of maximum lighting output. Therefore, the dimmer circuit makes possible both the lighting fixtures and the users refrained from dimming difficulties caused by different types of lighting loads with different threshold voltages. The design concept can be extended to manage illuminations in a two-level security light on a simple software basis without resorting to complex electric circuits.

Abstract: The present invention primarily relates to a method for initiating and controlling a lighting equipment by detecting and determining through an algorithm whether a flicker of light may occur during the period of initiating or dimming the lighting equipment. The method further calculates to obtain a current compensation ratio that the current level need be elevated to prevent the occurrence of flicker and performs a real-time compensation for the electrical current, when necessary. The method according to the invention will initiate the lighting equipment at an electrical current level used during a previous stable operation of the lighting equipment, so as to further prevent the occurrence of flicker of light during the initiation of the lighting equipment and achieve the energy saving purpose.
