  • the holder also contains a magnetic ballast and a starter and corresponding connecting cables.
  • Kits of this type which allow replacement of fluorescent lamps, so-called adapters T5, in such existing luminaires T8 / T12 with simultaneous conversion to electronic high-frequency operation without installation work, are disclosed in DE-B-199 00 889.
  • These adapters T5 each have two plug-on pins of the fluorescent lamp socket attachable end parts and an electronic ballast, wherein between the end parts at least one electrical connection is present.
  • the components of the electronic ballast may be arranged in one of the two end portions or divided into two end portions, or housed in a the electrical lines receiving and the end portions mechanically connecting duct.
  • the duct runs as a plastic part parallel to the lamp T5 and is fixedly connected to one end and connected to the other or firmly connected to both end portions. Therefore, an adapter T5 becomes relatively expensive in this way.
  • T5 adapter set which have two separate, not mechanically interconnected end portions, which are each plugged onto one of the two sides of the fluorescent lamp.
  • T5 set is problematic that with them the power supply and the high-frequency part are not carried out so that these adapters T5 set comply with the legal regulations.
  • the object of the present invention is to further improve a kit of this type, such that it can be constructed while maintaining the statutory provisions, the optimum luminaire and lamp conditions.
  • the two end portions are each sleeve-shaped and are at least two single-core lines and / or at least a two-wire line electrically connected to each other, these high-frequency lines between the attachable to the fluorescent lamp socket end portions along the lamp T5 run and are designed or arranged such that electromagnetic interference voltages are not or only to a limited extent transmitted to the network side.
  • the kit (Adapter T5 Set) with the electronic ballast and the cables can be sold, delivered or transported with less volume and less material, in contrast to the rigid connecting parts, as in the kits according to DE-B-199 00 889 is the case.
  • the kit according to the invention (adapter T5 set) is not complicated in terms of production and assembly, and complies with the legal EMC regulations with regard to the electromagnetic interference voltages on the network side. - A -
  • Fig. 1 shows schematically the structure of an inventive kit for a lamp with a lamp T5.
  • Fig. L is a double capped fluorescent lamp 1
  • a so-called T5 lamp indicated by the inventive adapter T5 sets in an existing lamp T8 / T12 with two lamp holders or T8 lampholders 2, 3 used and thereby of inductive to electronic high frequency operation is being converted.
  • These T8 lampholders 2, 3 are connected to the mains (compare phase L, neutral conductor N and the cables 4, 4 ', 4 "installed in the luminaire T8 / T12) and are operated with the usual mains frequency of 50 or 60 Hz.

At least in one of the two end parts 10, 1 1 (eg in the end part 10 shown on the left in Fig. 1) - or divided into two end parts - components of a known, working with high frequency electronic ballast 15 are housed, with which a fluorescent lamp T5 can be operated. With the lamp T5 and the electronic ballast 15 can at about the same light output energy savings of about 30 50% compared to a T8 / T12 lamp with magnetic ballast.
  • the length of the fluorescent lamps are standardized and thus the length of the end portions 10, 1 1 must be designed so that the total length of the end portions 10, 1 1 provided fluorescent lamp 1, the difference in length of the lamps T ⁇ are compensated for the lamps T5 used as a replacement.
  • the preheating of the electrode filaments of the fluorescent lamp 1 (lamp T5) is controlled by electronic circuits, so that a conventional normal starter, which is usually used in itself, is no longer needed.
  • This in the lamp usually existing starter 16 is replaced by a jumper.
  • the leading to this and installed in the lamp lines 4, 4 ', 4 are used to supply the voltage from the mains to the ballast 15. Since the starter 16 is no longer needed, you can right for the network connection according to FIG End part 1 1 bridge its two contact pins to the lamp socket 3 with a shorting bridge 17.
  • the two end parts 10, 1 1 and their connections for the fluorescent lamp 1 are according to the invention electrically connected to each other via at least two single-core lines 20, 21 and / or a two-core line, said high-frequency lines are designed or arranged such that electromagnetic interference voltages not or only minimally transmitted to the network.

There are not rigid connecting parts to use, which connect the adjacent end parts, as is the case with the adapters T5 according to DE-B-199 00 889.
  • the end portions 10, 1 1 may be formed as unilaterally closed sleeves, so that the insertion of the kit in the light T8 / T12 is particularly simple and the axis of the fluorescent lamp in the inserted state concentric to the axis of the previously used lamp T8.
  • the high-frequency lines 20, 21 extend at the fluorescent lamp socket attached end portions 10, 1 1 along the fluorescent lamp I 5 which has a smaller diameter than the adapter sleeves and the T8 lamp sockets 2, 3.
  • the lines 20, 21 can also on the T8 / T12 or on a reflector mounted on the T5 adapter set.
  • the end portions may be formed so that they - regardless of the fluorescent lamp - can be attached to the light T8 / T12, and the fluorescent lamp 1 can then be inserted into the end portions 10, 1 1, in such a way that the insertion of the Kit in the light T8 / T12 is particularly simple and the axis of the fluorescent lamp in the inserted state concentric to the axis of the previously used Lamp T8 runs.
  • the end parts would have to be provided on one end face with corresponding recesses, which would allow the fluorescent lamp 1 would be inserted with their frontally projecting plug bolts in these recesses and held therein.

Abstract

L’invention concerne un kit servant à transformer un luminaire, comprenant un tube (1) fluorescent rectiligne ayant de chaque côté un culot, d’un fonctionnement inductif à un fonctionnement électronique à haute fréquence. Ce kit est muni de deux pièces (10, 11) d’extrémité pouvant être enfichées sur les broches de contact des culots du tube fluorescent et pouvant être reliées électriquement entre elles ainsi que d’un ballast (15) électronique dont les composants sont logés dans au moins l’une des deux pièces (10, 11) d’extrémité. Ces pièces (10, 11) d’extrémité sont chacune réalisées en forme de douilles et peuvent être reliées électriquement entre elles par le biais d’au moins deux câbles (20, 21). Ces câbles (20, 21) à haute fréquence sont posés le long du tube (1) fluorescent et sont configurés ou disposés de telle sorte que les tensions parasites électromagnétiques transmises dans le réseau soient nulles ou minimales.
