摘要: An LED driver for an LED lamp, which also comprises an LED load. The LED driver is adapted to connect to an input source at a first and second terminal. The LED driver comprises a switching arrangement configured to enable a controller to control at least a magnitude and phase of the voltage between the first and second terminals. The phase of the voltage between the first and second terminals may be defined to control an amount of power that flows from the input source to power the LED lamp.

摘要: A lighting circuit uses a tapped linear driver architecture in which there are at least two LED types; a first LED type with a first forward voltage, and a second LED type with a second forward voltage at least double the first forward voltage. The first segment of the tapped linear driver comprises more LEDs of the first type than the second type and the last segment comprises more LEDs of the second type than the first type. This arrangement enables a reduction in the number of LEDs needed, but without significantly impacting on the efficiency of the circuit.

摘要: A device for determining a type of a power source for powering a LED lighting unit, wherein one possible type comprises a ballast originally designed for a high intensity discharge lamp and repurposed for use with an LED lighting unit. The power source type determiner monitors at least one electrical parameter of either a load or the power source itself after a power drawn by the load whose characteristic is set to a critical value. A value of the electrical parameter is used to identify a type of the power source. A value of the electrical parameter is the pulse generated by the traditional ballast for gas discharge lamp, which pulse is detected to determine the type of the power source.

摘要: A driver arrangement is provided for a LED lighting device with a LED light source and at least one additional auxiliary module. The driver arrangement comprises separate main and auxiliary drivers. The delivery of power from the auxiliary driver is controlled to either an auxiliary power output or to both a main power output and the auxiliary power output. Each driver can be optimized for the load it is required to drive. The device may overall be more efficient in a low power auxiliary mode, by using a driver suited for such low power operation. In particular when the power demand of the LED light source is low, the auxiliary driver may be used.

摘要: An LED arrangement uses a tapped driver driven by a rectified mains input and placed over a light output surface. There are at least first and second groups of LEDs on the light output surface. The total light output density for the LEDs of the second group (which are turned on for less of the mains cycle) per unit area of the light output surface is greater than the total light output density for the LEDs of the first group per unit area of the light output surface. A fraction of a light emitting surface of the second group (16) of LEDs to a second area (20B) of the light output surface occupied in a macro view by the second group (16) of LEDs, is larger than a fraction of a light emitting surface of the first group (14) of LEDs to a first area (20A) of the light output sur face occupied in a macro view by the first group (14) of LEDs. This means the light output density when averaged over time is made more consistent between the two (or more) groups of LEDs.

摘要: An LED driver that is operable with two different types of power source originally designed for a high-intensity discharge lamp. The LED driver directs current of an input power provided by the power source down a first current path if it is determined that the power source comprises a functional ignitor. The LED driver directs current of an input power provided by the power source down a second current path if it is determined that the 5 power source does not comprise a functional ignitor.

摘要: A retrofit lamp is to be used with a ballast. A shunt switch is provided in parallel with an output load and is adapted to shunt input terminals of the lamp using pulse width control so as to tune the current through the lighting element. This current control is used to enable compatibility with different ballasts and to provide dimming control. A detection circuit is used to detect an abnormal drive condition of the retrofit lamp and the pulse width control of the shunt switch can then be overridden by holding the shunt switch at a stable state for a certain duration. This prevents overload conditions and avoids DC signals in the event of component failures.

摘要: A LED driving circuit (20) is for driving at least two LED segments (22, 24) of different color or color temperature, using an input current which has a current ripple amplitude. The LED driving circuit (20) comprises an input to receive the input current; an output to connect to the at least two LED segments (22, 24); and a current distributing circuit which provides the input current to a single one of the two LED segments when the current is at a peak portion, wherein the current distributing circuit is adapted, when providing the input current to a single one of the two LED segments during the peak portion, to provide the input current to the single one of the two LED segments alternately, and splits the input current into two non-zero currents for different LED segments when the current is in a trough. When all current is provided to one LED segment, the light conversion efficiency is lower than when two segments are driven with lower current. This means the effect which the current ripple has on the light output is reduced. The driving circuit effectively compensates for the current ripple by adjusting the light conversion efficiency so that a flatter light output characteristic is obtained.
