Electronic ballasts used in fluorescent lighting systems can experience high failure rates, due to the fact that the ballast manufacturer may not have considered all failure mechanisms or provided ...

The new ICB2FL01G lamp ballast controller integrates Power Factor Correction (PFC), lamp controller and high-voltage half-bridge driver functions into a single, compact, surface-mounted package.

An electronic ballast, in simplistic terms, takes a mains supply and transforms the energy to a storage capacitor, which in turn powers a half bridge to provide frequency-controlled power for a ...

The study focused on comparing TLED performance in pendant, wrap and direct/indirect fixtures and also examined interoperability with different ballast and driver options. The goal was to provide data ...

For decades, and continuing today, the fluorescent lamp has been the cheapest way to produce white light with the minimum amount of energy taken from the mains (lumens/watt). As such, hundreds of ...

In September 2000, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) amended the existing conservation standards for fluorescent lamp ballasts when it published standard 10 CFR Part 430, Energy Conservation Program ...
