Q: My home is about 20 years old. My problem is with the lights in the kitchen. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don’t. When I turn on the switch, the light flickers or just partially lights. I ...

In part 1 we discussed rectifying the ballast AC current to DC and we showed an open load protection circuit. Direct replacement of fluorescent tubes with LED assemblies can lead to uneven lighting.

The IRS2530D DIM8™ is a unique linear dimming ballast control IC with half-bridge driver in a compact 8-pin form factor. The new device provides a competitive solution to replace inefficient ...

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 ...

Fluorescent dimming systems can satisfy visual comfort, and reduce utility costs through daylight harvesting, demand reduction, scheduled dimming, and other strategies. A dimming electronic ballast is ...
