    Abstract: The systems and method disclosed herein include a LCom-enabled luminaire configured to transmit a maintenance trigger encoded in an LCom signal in response to detecting an error or maintenance condition in the LCom-enabled luminaire, receive an access request, transmit maintenance information in response to the access request, and receive correction information to correct the error or maintenance condition. The systems and methods further include a receiver device configured to receive the maintenance trigger, generate the access request based on the maintenance trigger, transmit the access request to the LCom-enabled luminaire, receive maintenance information in response to the access request, and transmit control commands based on the maintenance information.

    Abstract: An active damping circuit is disclosed, which includes a peak current limiter, a drain source voltage limiter, a turn-on driver, a resistor shunt circuit, and a peak current sensor. The peak current sensor detects a rising edge of an input voltage from a phase cut dimmer by detecting a higher peak current. This drives a collector voltage of a second transistor of the peak current limiter low, which lowers a gate voltage of a first transistor of the peak current sensor, and forces it into a linear operating region, so it functions as a damping resistor. When the peak current sensor detects a decreased peak current, such that the turn-on edge of the input voltage is passed, the second transistor turns off, and the turn-on driver turns the first transistor on, such that the active damping circuit is waiting for a next edge of the input voltage.

    Abstract: A multi-strike ballast to ignite an electrodeless lamp is disclosed, and includes an inverter circuit, a protection circuit, and a controller. The inverter circuit, upon activation, sends an ignition pulse to the lamp. The inverter circuit shuts down upon receiving a deactivation signal, and activates upon receiving an activation signal, triggering another ignition pulse. The protection circuit senses a change in a voltage associated with the lamp. The sensed changed may indicate that the lamp has not yet ignited or that the lamp is broken. The controller receives the sensed change in voltage and, in response, sends a deactivation signal to the inverter circuit. The controller waits a predetermined time and then sends an activation signal to the inverter circuit. The controller repeats until a change in voltage associated with the lamp is not sensed, or until a predefined number of repeats occur, providing multiple ignition pulses to the lamp.
