Background
Fluorescent lamps have found wide use in the field of lighting for the last decades. And the fluorescent lamp needs to be driven by a ballast, and the ballast is divided into an inductive ballast and an electronic ballast. Whichever type of ballast requires a high voltage ignition of about 1000V at start-up to ignite the fluorescent lamp.
In normal operation, since the impedance of the fluorescent lamp is negative, the operating current is limited by the inductive ballast or the electronic ballast to operate stably and reliably. Therefore, the conventional fluorescent lamp has an inductive ballast or an electronic ballast matched with the conventional fluorescent lamp. For the inductive ballast, the technical scheme is basically not quite different; the electronic ballast has various technical schemes such as common preheating, chip preheating, quick start, instant start and the like, and various protections such as open circuit, short circuit, service life end and the like.
LED lamp lighting is a hotspot and trend in lighting development today. As a new generation of lighting scheme, compared with fluorescent lamp lighting scheme, it has the advantages of energy saving, no mercury, stable and long service life, etc., and the driving requirement is relatively simple, and it does not need high voltage starting nor preheating, and it can implement flow driving operation only by using a constant current.
In the existing LED lamp driving technology, most of the LED lamps can only be input by mains supply, and if the LED lamps are directly adopted in the traditional fluorescent lamp lighting lamp to replace fluorescent lamps, the ballast needs to be taken out and the circuit wiring of the lamp needs to be re-dimmed, otherwise, the replaced LED lamps are directly burnt out by the high voltage of hundreds to thousands of volts generated when the ballast is started.
Therefore, the existing LED lamp driving technology has the problem that when the LED lamp replaces a fluorescent lamp, the LED lamp is burnt out at the starting moment due to the fact that the ballast cannot be compatible.
