When emergency lighting using a D.C. source is needed, we select the fluorescent lamp that has higher efficiency than that of an incandescene lamp. This paper deals with a series inverter for a fluorescent lamp load, which has high frequency output characteristics. First, the appropriate operating frequency is determined and second, the optimum value of circuit elements is determined in consideration of several important conditions. The results obtained by experimentations are represented.

This paper presents that what's the right EOLL(End of Lamp Life) phenomenon on fluorescent lamp and how to detect it according to the lamp status. In normal end of life situation for fluorescent lamps is emitter depletion of the cathodes. So, in most cases, the discharge will extinguish and the lamp will not start. But if the ballast is capable of sustaining the discharge, a new condition arise. Especially, the T4 and T5 lamp which has a short distance from cathode to socket of lamp future must have the EOLL Protection function.

At present, the cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) using mercury lamp has been generally used far liquid crystal backlight source of personal computer and car navigation and so on. This kind of lamp is more excellent on luminance performance and cost. However, the requirements of liquid crystal backlight due to a light source without mercury have been strongly increased from a viewpoint of the actual influence on environmental preservation and environmental recycling. As fluorescent lamp without mercury, Dielectric Barrier Discharge based rare gas fluorescent lamp (DBD-FL) using xenon (Xe) gas has been studied so far. This DBD lamp has no influence on the human body and environmental recycle. Its operating life is long because electrode is out. In this paper, the simulation and experimental results of soft switching high frequency inverter with reverse blocking single switch as a high frequency power supply circuit for DBD-FL using Xe gas are comparatively evaluated and discussed from a practical point of view.

The piezoelectric transformer (PT) is an electro-mechanical device that transfers electrical energy through a mechanical vibration. In this paper, a PT operating in the contour vibration mode is introduced for an application of fluorescent lamp ballast. Utilizing its inherent characteristics of the LC resonator and a high voltage gain to ignite the lamp in light load condition, an investigation of a power piezoelectric transformer as a potential component for a fluorescent lamp ballast is discussed. PT is easy to be produced in mass and reduces the cost of the ballast. The modified equivalent circuit model of the PT considering the operating current level is derived to design the fluorescent lamp ballast. This model describes the voltage gain of the PT in wide load variations and various input current levels. The experimental and simulation results are provided to verify theoretical analysis. The power capacity of the currently developed PT is relatively low (15W), but it can be increased by adopting a multi-layer structure and is currently under investigation. It is also possible to parallel the PT for higher power processing.

In Recent, it became necessary to develope the technology about electrodeless fluorescent lamp according to demand of the electodeless fluorescent lamp system that used higher efficiency and advantage of long-lifetime. Especially, in the electordeless fluorescent lamp which used H-mode, efficiency of lamp is decided from matching parameter of antena and inverter, so it is of the utmost importance to design antena and inverter. Therefore, this paper used a transformer principle for an efficiency rising of electrodeless fluorescent lamp and interpreted an equivalent circuit, and confirmed a luminance characteristic by ferrite change of antenna and change of coil turns. Also, this paper used the thermoelectric element which can let you cool ferrite and antenna and confirmed the luminance characteristic along a change of ferrite and an antenna temperature.

In recent, there have been several developments in lamp technology that promise savings in electrical power consumption and improved quality of the lighting space. Above all, the advantage of ring-shaped electrodeless fluorescent lamp is the removal of internal electrodes and heating filaments that are a light-limiting factor of conventional fluorescent lamps. The ring-shaped electrodeless lamp is intended as a high efficacy replacement for the incandescent reflector lamp in many applications. Therefore, the life time of ring-shaped electrodeless fluorescent lamps is substantially higher than that of conventional fluorescent lamps and last up to 60,000 hours. In this paper, maxwell 3D finite element analysis program (Ansoft) was used to obtain electromagnetic properties associated with the coil and nearby structures. The electromagnetic emitting properties were presented by 3D simulation software operated at 250[kHz] and some specific conditions.
