Fluorescent lamps domestic lighting system including outdoor use

摘要

A lighting system for electrically feeding a number of fluorescent lamps mutually separated from one another and arranged around a region, such as a garden, to be illuminated, includes a number of sockets for the fluorescent lamps, and low voltage (LV) electrical supply cables connecting the sockets to a single supply point. Included in each socket is an electrical circuit for conversion of a LV LF supply to a HV HF power supply for a given fluorescent lamp. A transformer is used for connection between the single supply point and a mains supply in order to convert the latter to a LV supply.
