A Dimmable Electronic Ballast for Wired or Wireless Remote Control of Electrodeless Fluorescent Lamp Group Lighting Systems

摘要

This paper presents a dimmable electronic ballast for wired or wireless remote control of a group lighting system and its control algorithms. The proposed ballast consists of a resonant inverter, an erasable programmable logic device (EPLD) for dimming, and a MCU for ballast control and communication with the group management server. 150W ballasts were made and used to confirm their performance. The implemented system was controlled well with the host server through the wired and wireless communication, and a constant power control algorithm for the lamp also worked properly.
