Recently, the demand of ceramic metal halide lamp has been expanded. Therefore, the lamp with high efficiency and long lifetime are increasing and the evaluation of reliability is needed. In this paper, the degradation phenomena of ceramic metal halide lamp was studied. The lamp was tested for 3000 on/off cycles with each cycle having a duration of 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off based on the accelerated aging experiment based on "Reliability Standards RS C 0085". As result, the corrosion of arc tube and leak was appeared from reaction between inner wall of PCA and chemical elements, and distortion of electrode was resulted from difference of thermal expansion between arc tube of PCA and electrode. Also, the efficiency of lamp was decreased by the change of inner pressure, operation temperature, and driving voltage from wall blackening.

This paper deals with a design and fabrication of an electronic ballast for 70[W] ceramic discharge metal halide lamps. The proposed ballast is composed of a rectifier, an active power factor correction circuit (PFC), a half-bridge inverter, a LC resonant circuit and a microprocessor. The developed ballast also includes a specially designed time circuit which provides reignition signal of lamps. Running frequency of the ballast is .jet at 40[kHz] to avoid acoustic-resonance and flickering. From the experimental results, input power factor and efficiency of the ballast are estimated 99.8[%] and 93.1[%], respectively.

기존의 소듐이나 메탈할라이드 램프는 수명이 짧아 잦은 유지보수가 필요하다. 8~12m정도의 도로조명은 유지보수 중에 사고가 발생할거나 교통의 흐름에 불편을 가져와 이에 대한 대책이 필요하다. LED조명장치는 반도체 특유의 장수명으로 유지보수의 문제에 솔루션을 가지고 있다. 또한 기존의 조명시스템은 단색으로 색온도의 제어가 어려워 기능성조명장치의 구현이 거의 이루어지고 있지 않지만 반도체조명 장치인 LED조명은 다양한 LED칩을 적절히 배치하고 활용함으로서 색온도를 가변시켜 우천시나 안개시에 운전자의 주의를 환기시킬 수 있어 도로안전을 확보할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 백색LED와 오렌지LED를 혼색하여 우천시나 안개시, 즉, 습도의 변동상황에서 색온도를 가변시켜 운전자나 보행자의 시인성을 확보하고 통행의 주의를 환기시켜 기능성조명으로서의 역할을 부여하는 LED가로등조명장치를 구현하여 이에 대한 성능을 실험하였다.

In this study, we used underwater acoustics to analyze the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of largehead hairtail (Trichiurus leptueus) based on the luminous thronging of metal halide fishing lamps and induction fishing lamps. As a result, the illuminating power was approximately 1.3 times higher using the metal halide fishing lamp whereas the density of hairtals by distance was approximately 1.9 times higher using the induction fishing lamp. Regarding water depth distribution, hairtails were detected depths of 25-30 m during August and at all water depths in November as assessed using fishing lamps.

This paper presents an electronic ballast using a novel multiplex modulation method for the metal halide lamp. The proposed modulation method, which has a modulating signal of swept multiplex frequency, can eliminate the acoustic resonance more effectively than the conventional modulation method, which has a modulating signal of constant frequency. For the purpose of future application specific integrated circuits (ASIC), the controller of the proposed ballast has been designed only with erasable programmable logic devices (EPLDs), but without a microprocessor. In this paper, detailed proposed modulation schemes are described and experimental results on the proto-type 150W metal halide lamp ballast with the proposed modulation method are discussed.

The use of arc tubes made of ceramic material further enhanced some of the metal halide lamp’s properties. These properties translate into higher efficacy with better color rendering, stable color through lamp long life. Recently, due to an increase in the application of the ceramic metal-halide lamp, the study for the property etc. according to Ballast's driving scheme and the study for arc tube material, optimization of gas and so on are being proceeded to improve the property of the lamp.

The Ceramic Metal Halide lamp is different from optical characteristic on shapes of arc-tube and driving method of ballast. In this paper, we measured optical characteristics of the Ceramic Metal Halide lamp that uses arc tubes which are spherical and cylindrical shapes, and analyzed the Ceramic Metal Halide lamp connecting ballast that is electronic and magnetic types through the lamp measurement system that is given for stabilization period of fifteen minutes. In result, the arc-tube of spherical shape is more improvement in the optical properties than the arc tube of cylindrical shape, moreover, the electronic ballast is more efficient than the optical properties of the magnetic ballast.

This paper presents the electronic ballast for the metal halide lamp with free voltage input and implemented for CDM-T[150W] lamp. HID lamps have a good color rendition, long life and good focusing capability but they have fickers by acoustic resonance when driven at high frequency. To reduce the acoustic resonance phenomena, the electronic ballast was designed for high frequency operation with the constant frequency sinusoidal wave of 75[kHz]. Finally, the experimental results on the ballast of CDM-T [150W]metal halide lamp with the propose methods are discussed.
