By making a electronic ballast, which is needed to operate a fluorescent lamp, it is possible to make a small and light weight ballast with high efficiency. And more, by increasing an operating frequency, the efficacy of lamp is increasing. In this paper, the variations of efficacy of a fluorescent lamp versus input frequency are studied With two kinds of fluorescent lamp, i.e., straight type(10W) and compact type(13W). The results show that the efficacy of lamps are increasing as input frequency is higher, and over 80[kHz], the slope of the variations of efficacy are slowdowned.

Fluorescent lamp operated at high frequency by the electronic ballast provide ballasts like unnoticed flicker effect and higher luminous efficiency. This paper presents analysis of Half-Bridge type resonant inverter for Fluorescent lamp drive for stable characteristic and life improvement of lamp operated at high frequency. Also, it has described an electronic ballast design with the capability of high PF (Power Factor) and low THD (Total Harmonic Distortion). The validity of designed electronic ballast circuit is confirmed by simulation and experimental results. The Designed electronic ballast is implemented successfully on 32W Fluorescent lamp system.

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 ail, 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. 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 and is intended as a high efficacy replacement for the incandescent reflector lamp in many applications. In this paper, when appling the electrodeless lamp in luminaire, We analyzed change of optical and electrical characteristics.

Generally LED lamp has many advantages to compare with a general lamp, long life and no pollution matter like the mercury. Also it is excellence for color rendering and need to small consumption electric rower. However LED lamp has some disadvantages to compare to general fluorescent lamp and That is small light flux about 50% and narrow light distribution than fluorescent lamp. Therefore, to apply LED lamp in an office building, after analyze a illuminance distribution with an environment analysis and cooling, heating and light energy. The purpose of this study is to analyze light environment. light, cooling and heating energy simulation in Office building.

This study was carried out to examine the effect of Red LED (660 nm) and fluorescent lamp for night break (NB) treatments of each 3 hours (22:30-01:30), 4 hours (22:00-02:00) and 5 hours (21:30-:02:30) per day for 53 days on flower bud initiation and growth in Chrysanthemum cv. 'Baekma' and cv. 'Jinba'. The days to flower budding after short-day treatment in 'Baekma' was longer at fluorescent lamp 4 hr (21.0 days) and 5 hr (20.5 days) NB, and it was shorter at Red LED 3 hr (14.2 days). The days to flowering after short-day treatment in 'Baekma' was longer at fluorescent lamp 4 hr (54.0 days), 5 hr (53.5 days) NB, and Red LED 5 hr (53.3 days), and it was shortest at Red LED 3 hr (50.2 days) NB treatment among all treatments. The days to flower budding after short-day treatment of 'Jinba' was longer at fluorescent lamp 4 hr (20.6 days) and was shorter at Red LED 3 hr (14.1 days) among all treatments. Similarly, the days to flowering after short-day treatment of 'Jinba' was longer at fluorescent lamp 4 hr (55.3 days) and was shortest at Red LED 3 hr (50.2 days) among all treatments. Therefore, inhibition of flower bud initiation was the most effective under fluorescent lamp 4 hr treatment. The length of cut flower of 'Baekma' was increased by fluorescent lamp 4 hr, 5 hr, and Red LED 5 hr, but of 'Jinba' was longer at LED 4 hr and 5 hr treatment. The weight of cut flower of 'Baekma' was heaviest at fluorescent lamp 5 hr treatment and was at Red LED 5hr treatment for 'Jinba' even though there was not statistically significant difference between 'Baekma' and 'Jinba'. Consequently, under fluorescent lamp 4 hr for night break was the most effective on flower bud initiation, flowering inhibition and cut-flower characteristics in 'Baekma' and 'Jinba'.

A lamp which is currently employed to LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) Backlight is almost CCFL(Cold Cathod Fluorescent Lamp) and EEFL(External Electrode Fluorescent Lamp). However, the use of these lamps is being restricted as RoHS(the Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances in electrical and electronic equipment) regulation is gradually reinforced. According to this situation, the manufacturing of a lamp which doesn't use mercury is unescapable. Moreover, LCD TV has a defect which take place Motion Blur phenomenon due to response time of LC(Liquid Crystal), and Hold-type characteristic which only exists in LCD differently to CRT, PDP. In this paper, an inverter is proposed to drive a plane light source lamp which is not containing mercury. Driving circuit of proposed inverter is simple because the number of semiconductor device and magnetic device is reduced by using forward topology. Also, Motion Blur phenomenon is decreased by dividing the plane light source lamp to six block along vertical direction, and scanning. Finally, we proved usefulness of proposed inverter through experiment.

In this paper, scanning backlight unit which can reduce motion blur was designed and fabricated using flat fluorescent lamp. The FFL(flat fluorescent lamp) is in the limelight as a new illuminant of next generation BLU(backlight unit), because of simple assembly and reduction of driving components. In order to control lamp brightness, lamp on-time was controlled. In this experiment, it was confirmed that lamp brightness can be dimmed linealy and in a wide range.

This paper presents the new detection method for the end of life on fluorescent lamps. At the end of lamp life, the lamp voltage and current asymmetrically increase and decrease more than normal state. If the ballast system does not have the protection function especially for T4 and T5 lamps, we may see the melting socket which is connected to the end of the lamp. To protect from this kind of abnormal status is the most important thing in the ballast system that has very old lamps.

In this work, a coplanar-type plasma flat fluorescent lamp having cross type of electrode was fabricated by screen printing and sealing technique. Cross type of electrode with a dielectric layer were screen-printed on a rear glass plate, and then fired at $550^{\circ}C$. Phosphor was printed on and fired at $450^{\circ}C$. Finally, the lamp was sealed by frit glass at $450^{\circ}C$. The lamp of cross electrode type was studied depending on the electrode gap and the thickness of dielectric layer.

An electric power efficiency of electrodeless fluorescent lamp has big relativie propertye of gas in lamp, gas pressure, lamp formation, ingredients of magnetic substance and shape and action frequency etc. We used magnetic substance that open self-examination material of electrodeless fluorescent lamp antenna. Ferrite that is used in this experiment was Mn-Zn type. Coill turn was changed from 13th to 13th turn to recognize brightness change of lamp by winding number. Optical equipment that used in an experiment was used to measure brightness (LS-100). When an electrodeless fluorescent ]amp was made using and T company's PE22, was it showed the highest brightness. As number of winding is increased the brightness increased, and starting characteristic became good.
