Abstract: A fluorescent illuminating apparatus includes an inductive-resistive structure that induces fluorescence in a fluorescent lamp when an electric current is passed through the inductive-resistive structure while an electric potential is applied across the fluorescent lamp A source of rippled/pulsed direct current is responsive to a control sub-circuit, which outputs a lamp voltage signal representative of the electric potential to be applied to the fluorescent lamp. A power supply sub-circuit is responsive to the control sub-circuit and imposes the electric potential at the value indicated by the lamp voltage signal. A method of inducing fluorescence includes passing a current through an inductive structure adjacent to a fluorescent lamp. An alternating current drive circuit for illuminating the fluorescent lamp includes a source of rippled/pulsed DC voltage, a polarity-reversing circuit and a controller connected to the polarity-reversing circuit, which periodically generates a signal to reverse the polarity of the voltage applied to the lamp. The electric potential applied to the fluorescent lamp is delayed for a first time period until the fluorescent lamp heats to a first temperature. The electric potential is then applied to the fluorescent lamp at a first level, and delays to allow the value of the rippled/pulsed direct current to stabilize. The direct current is then measured, and the electric potential is applied to the fluorescent lamp at a second level. The value of the dimming voltage is measured, and the electric potential applied to the lamp is adjusted accordingly by varying its duty cycle.

Abstract: A low loss capacitive delivery system for converting a low voltage AC power source into a driving energy for a high voltage lamp is disclosed. The system involves delivering two energy loops with the first energy loop consisting of a high voltage low energy output to the lamp during a first half cycle of the AC power source operation and the second energy loop utilizing a high energy low voltage system delivering a high energy capacitive pulse to the lamp during a subsequent second half cycle operation of the power source. The first energy loop functions to lower the resistance of the lamp and the second energy loop operates the lamp after its resistance has been lowered. The system contains a matrix of diodes arranged in order to deliver the capacitive pulse of the second energy loop and to bypass the low energy high voltage circuit.

Abstract: A fluorescent illuminating apparatus includes a translucent housing with a chamber within which a fluorescent medium is supported. The fluorescent medium and housing may be part of an ordinary fluorescent lightbulb. The housing has electrical connections configured to provide an electrical potential across the chamber. An inductive structure is fixed sufficiently proximate to the housing to induce fluorescence in the fluorescent medium when an electric current is passed through the inductive structure while an electric potential is applied across the electrical connections of the housing. It is believed that the inductive structure induces fluorescence by means of an electromagnetic field interaction with either the fluorescent medium, or the ultraviolet-emitting gaseous material, such as mercury, typically contained in a fluorescent lightbulb, or both. Preferred inductive structures for use with the present invention include elongate tape structures having a substrate with a conductive-resistive coating such as a solid emulsion of an electrically conductive material (e.g., graphite) dispersed in a non-conductive continuous phase. A coating portion of magnetic recording tape can also be used. Elongate conductor strips are provided, along edges of the substrate, in electrical contact with the conductive-resistive coating. A method of inducing fluorescence comprises passing a current through an inductive structure which is adjacent a fluorescing medium in an amount sufficient to induce fluorescence in the fluorescing medium in the presence of an electrical potential imposed on the fluorescing medium. The present invention replaces conventional ballasts.
