Solid-State Lighting Without Operational Uncertainty And Free Of Fire Hazard

摘要

A light-emitting diode (LED)-based solid-state lamp (LED lamp) comprising four input ports, two bridge rectifiers, two interface modules, an LED driving circuit, and LED arrays operates normally for an input voltage applied from any two of the input ports without operational uncertainty and a fire hazard. The LED driving circuit is configured to provide a regulated power and current to drive the LED arrays. With a cycle-by-cycle triac switching and current control, an over-rated surge current is limited, preventing any fire hazards possibly occurred in the ballast when operated with the LED lamp. With various electrical connection terminals, the lamp can fit and operate in various lamp fixtures comprising two-pin, four-pin, or Edison-base sockets.

主权项

1. A light-emitting diode (LED) lamp, comprising:
a plurality of LED printed circuit boards (LED PCBs); a light emission portion comprising at least one lighting tube and LED arrays disposed on the plurality of LED PCBs in the at least one lighting tube; a lamp base portion connected to the light emission portion, the lamp base portion comprising at least two electrical connection terminals; two interface modules, each connected to a respective one of the at least two electrical connection terminals; at least one bridge rectifier coupled to the two interface modules, the at least one bridge rectifier configured to convert an alternating-current (AC) input voltage into a direct-current (DC) voltage; and an LED driving circuit coupled to receive the DC voltage from the at least one bridge rectifier, the LED driving circuit comprising an output module comprising a resistor and an output capacitor in parallel configured to build up an output voltage and to power the LED arrays; wherein each of the two interface modules has a high impedance at 60 Hz and low impedance at 45 kHz with a ratio higher than 13.
