A method and system of remotely monitoring an operational status of electronic discharge devices in an air purification system senses emitted radiation at a location proximate the air purification system, alone or in combination with a determination of an amount of time remaining in an operational lifetime of the electronic discharge device, or an amount of power delivered to at least one of the electronic discharge devices. A determination of the operational status of at least one of the electronic discharge devices is made based on at least emitted radiation, and the status information is transmitted to a remote monitoring unit that receives the status information and displays an indicator of operational status. In one embodiment, the operational status of a UV-C germicidal lamp may be monitored using optically sensitive devices located within a purification system.

A fluorescent lamp testing device 10 has a microcontroller 100 that controls tests for ballast discrimination as well as gas integrity, ballast operation, filament continuity and line voltage. The ballast discrimination test is performed by the microcontroller 100 in combination with a photodiode 30 and high/low pass filter 32. Gas integrity is tested with pulse width modulation and a high-voltage, step-up transformer (PWM/T) circuit 42 and an antenna 40. A built in continuity tester has input pins 52, 54 to test the continuity of the filaments in the fluorescent lamp 12. The antenna 40 and a voltage-divider/voltage-sensor connected to the secondary coil in the transformer test for ballast operation. A PCB conductive loop 18, rectifier 20 and op amp 22 test for line voltage.

A dielectric barrier discharge lamp lighting apparatus includes twenty-four dielectric barrier discharge lamps, and a ballast circuit for lighting the twenty-four dielectric barrier discharge lamps which includes a DC power supply, an inverter circuit, a step-up transformer, and a lighting lamp number detecting circuit. The lighting lamp number detecting circuit detects the number of normally lighting dielectric barrier discharge lamps based on a first peek appearing right after polarity change of an approximate rectangular wave provided from the step-up transformer. When the detected number is less than a predetermined value, the operation of the ballast circuit is controlled to be stopped.

A testing kit for luminaire lamps includes a shorting cap that is to be substituted for a photoelectric sensing device to test its operability, and a luminaire lamp testing instrument that is to be used while the shorting cap is in place for testing the operation of the starter and the ballast associated with the luminaire. The shorting cap includes a plurality of equidistantly distributed indicating lights to enable the user to see one of them from any angle, a built-in circuit breaker that trips when there is a short circuit downstream from the photoelectric sensing device, and a pair of jacks for connecting a voltmeter thereto. The luminaire lamp testing instrument has an evaluation circuitry that determines whether or not the starter or the ballast function properly and causes either one of two lights, depending on the design wattage of the luminaire lamp, to issue visually distinguishable signals indicative of proper operation of the starter and the ballast, respectively.
