In addition to their numerous benefits over magnetic ballasts, electronic ballasts can provide
dimming capability. However, there are great difficulties in dimming a fluorescent lamp …

Self-oscillating electronic ballast is one of the simplest and most cost effective ballasts for
driving fluorescent lamps. Disadvantageously, however, the operating frequency of the self …

In this paper, a new solution to implement and control a single-stage electronic ballast
based on the integration of a buck-boost power-factor-correction stage and a half-bridge …

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 complete LC and LCC resonant tanks analysis for its application in the starting and
stabilization of metal-halide lamps is presented in this paper. The operation with a single …

A single-stage high power factor electronic ballast is designed to operate fluorescent lamps
at a constant power over a very wide input voltage range. The electronic ballast performs the …

In this paper a high-power-factor electronic ballast for compact fluorescent lamps based on
the class E amplifier and featuring low voltage stress across the switch is presented. The …

A novel single-switch high-power-factor electronic ballast, which is the integration of a buck-
boost AC-to-DC converter and a Class-E load resonant inverter, is designed for compact …

The main disadvantage of single-stage electronic ballasts is the high stress that should
withstand at least one of the converter switches. This drawback narrows the application …

A novel single-stage high-power-factor electronic ballast obtained from the integration of a
forward DC-to-DC converter and a half-bridge resonant inverter is evaluated in this paper …
