A new method for energy saving in the fluorescent lamps using rapid-start ballast was developed. Using this method, about 2 W of the power was saved. And for the measurement of the wattage and current in fluorescent lamp, circuits of the rapid-start type ballasts were analysed.

The electrooptic characteristics of 32-inch multichannel-structured, mercury-type flat fluorescent lamps have been investigated in detail. The luminance and the lamp current/voltage have been monitored by changing the driving conditions such as duty ratio, backlight conditions. It was found that the efficiency became the maximum at the duty ratio of 50 % with a nearby metal plate.

This paper presents a study on the modeling on the dimming control of electronic fluorescent lamp. The resulted models of the lamps were applied the two dimming control methods, one is the variable switching frequence and the other is the variable dc link voltage method. And the comparison of the dimming characteristics between the two methods was presented. Theoretical predictions were verified the experimental results on a 100w electrodeless fluorescent lamp.

A new fluorescent dummy load to replace one of the fluorescent lamps in a dual lamp type rapid-start ballast for halving the lamp power is proposed. Using a circuit composed of a fundamental compensation circuit and a harmonic filter circuit, a new fluorescent dummy load having superior characteristics than a conventional dummy load is developed. The design principle and architecture of the proposed fluorescent dummy load is explained and verified by experiments.

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, 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

Use of nonlinear loads, such as power converters, fluorescent lamps and adjustable speed motor drives, is expected to grow rapidly. All of these loads inject harmonic currents. This paper presents the active filtering of the harmonic distortion generated by the compact fluorescent lamps (CFL). The Instantaneous active and reactive power theory (the p-q Theory) is used to design the control of parallel active filter. The control scheme has been verified using Matlab/Simulink with SimPower Systems through a set of simulation tests under different load conditions. Also, the tuning of the active power filter is performed to improve the quality of the electrical power supply.

In this paper, prototype high-power-factor single-stage electronic ballast for fluorescent lamps is designed and implemented. A new low cost single stage high power factor electronic ballast for fluorescent lamps is based on integration of two-boost converter and LC type high frequency resonant converter. A ballast is obtained by simple construction, because full bridge rectifier diode is eliminated and simple control circuit is applied. Using two boost converter operating positive and negative half cycle respectively at line frequency (60Hz), operation in discontinuous conduction mode performs high power factor. The experimental results Show the good performance as PF 0.99, $A_{THD}$ 15.4%, and CF 1.65 at Output 63.5W.W.

A Switching control circuit based on a micro-controller is developed for blinking operation of fluorescent lamps, which would be suitable for use in the advertising panel. Ten modes of blinking patterns are implanted within the EEPROM. The developed circuit can handle up to 128 fluorescent lamps of 20-40W range, and the lamp life is expected to so beyond 3000 hours.

Electrodeless fluorescent lamps don't have standards yet. So we study applicable standards of electrodeless fluorescent lamps and analyze evaluation items and test method. Then we will use this paper basic information of standards.
