Especially, fluorescent tube 325 can comprise cold cathode fluorescent lamp (Cold Cathode Fluorescence Lamp, CCFL), still, the cold cathode fluorescent lamp that fluorescent tube 325 comprised does not limit its external form, quantity, length etc. especially, is to be ordered according to its hobby voluntarily by the designer fully.In addition, compensating circuit 34 is coupled to rectification circuit 322 and level-cell 326.

Please consult Fig. 1 again and consult Fig. 2, Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 in the lump.Fig. 2 is the circuit diagram that illustrates the light adjusting circuit 4 among Fig. 1.Fig. 3 is the internal circuit schematic diagram that illustrates the luminescence unit 32 among Fig. 1.Fig. 4 is the internal circuit schematic diagram that illustrates the compensating circuit 34 among Fig. 1.As Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3 and shown in Figure 4, light adjusting circuit 4 comprises interchange thyristor T ₄₁, and exchange thyristor T ₄₁On have electric current I ₄₁Especially, the A of Fig. 2 point and B point are to be connected with A point and the B point of Fig. 3.And exchange thyristor T ₄₁Can be used to change the angle of flow (fire angle) that inputs to luminescence unit 32.

The rectification circuit 322 of luminescence unit 32 can be a bridge rectifier, but not especially as limit.And rectification circuit 322 has electric current I ₃₁, and electric current I ₃₁This equals electric current I haply ₄₁Level-cell 326 can be a resistance, but not especially as limit.

In this embodiment, compensating circuit 34 comprises first switch 341, first resistance 342 and judging unit 343.First switch 341 couples first resistance 342.First switch 341 can be MOSFET, but not especially as limit.First resistance 342 couples voltage node N ₁Wherein, first resistance 342 can comprise at least more than one the parallel with one another or series connection of resistance, but not especially as limit, the purpose of the resistance that is comprised in first resistance 342 being carried out serial or parallel connection is the heat energy that is to disperse the resistance generation.
