With the global concerns on the issue of how to conserve the limited energy resources,
compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) have been forced in a lot of countries to replace the …

Although compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) have been on the market for a long time, many
of them do not achieve the same power factor as the incandescent lamps do, which presents …

A two-stage, two-wire TRIAC dimmable electronic ballast for fluorescent lamps is presented
in this paper. It is constructed by using a flyback converter as the input power factor corrector …

This paper presents a single-switch electronic ballast with continuous input current charge
pump power-factor correction. The ballast circuit is composed of a series/parallel inverter, a …

A hybrid lamp power control scheme for dimmable electronic ballasts is proposed. Apart
from adjusting the brightness of the lamp, the proposed method can also minimize the …

A single-stage high-power-factor electronic ballast is designed to drive the fluorescent lamp
in a wide dimmable range. The electronic ballast with an embedded buck-boost converter …

A very high power factor electronic ballast that uses a single switch in the power circuit is
proposed in this paper for compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs). The proposed power circuit is …

This paper proposes high-power-factor electronic ballast for fluorescent lamps. The
converter offers a high input power factor and a high-frequency supply to the lamp using a …

This paper presents an efficient, small-sized, and cost-effective single-switch power-factor-
correction (PFC) scheme for high-frequency electronic ballasts. The circuit topology …

This paper proposes a novel multifunctional controller for a dimmable high-power-factor
single-switch electronic ballast that can be used with standard phase-cut dimmers …
