Dimming control of electronic ballasts |
摘要 |
<p>The invention provides an apparatus and a method for controlling the power output of a fluorescent lamp in order to provide dimming control. The fluorescent lamp is driven by an electronic ballast, for example a half-bridge resonant inverter, and the electronic ballast is switched at a constant frequency and with a constant duty-cycle, but with a variable DC voltage power input. Dimming control is provided by variation of the DC voltage power supply. The variable DC supply may be obtained from an AC source followed by a power factor corrected AC-DC variable converter, or a DC source followed by a variable DC-DC converter.</p> |
