BALLASTER WITH ENERGY-SAVING LED LIGHTING CONTROL FUNCTION USING COMMERCIAL POWER AND DIGITAL ADDRESABLE LIGHTING INTERFACE}

The present invention relates to a ballaster, and specifically to a ballaster equipped with an energy-saving LED lighting control function using commercial power and DALI.

AC commercial power is mainly used for lighting power.

However, AC commercial power has a disadvantage in that it consumes a lot of standby power when the lights are not turned on. Additionally, in the event of a power outage of AC commercial power, there is no way to turn on the lights at all unless a separate auxiliary generator is provided.

Meanwhile, when controlling numerous lights in a large building, there are cases where control is performed using the DALI (Digital Addressable Light Interface) protocol. The DALI lighting system has a dual structure in which it is controlled using the power of the DALI supply and uses the power of the ballaster as LED power.

It is not possible to control existing AC commercial power using the DALI protocol.

Each LED light (20) can be controlled to be sequentially checked. In addition, within the same space within a building, a plurality of LED lights 20 within the same space can be controlled to be sequentially checked by sequentially turning on/off or dimming control.

You can control the illuminance of LED lighting in the hallway.

Specifically, the DALI drive control module 103 may be configured to control the illuminance to be higher as the frequency of motion detection increases.

Accordingly, power consumption can be reduced by intermittently supplying the DALI power voltage rather than operating the LED lights 20 in the hallway with the commercial power voltage.
