20130264952 | FLUORESCENT BALLAST END OF LIFE PROTECTION FOR VARIOUS LAMP TYPES - A system and method of controlling a lighting system having a ballast is provided. The ballast may be used in a lamp system that utilizes different types of lamps. The ballast may detect a lamp signal that indicates a change in state of at least one of the lamps in the lighting system. A voltage regulator signal can be modified based on the detected lamp signal and the light system controlled based on the modified voltage regulator signal. | 10-10-2013 |

20140175982 | FAULT PROTECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FLUORESCENT LAMP BALLASTS - Provided is a lighting ballast system and method for fluorescent lamps. The system and method utilize a lamp current control loop to control the light level of a fluorescent lamp. The ballast includes an open loop detector that recognizes an open current control loop as an indication of a fault or hazard condition, and causes the ballast to output a safe lamp voltage or no voltage. The fault or hazard condition may be, for example, a very high voltage at the lamp or very low current across the lamp. The ballast also includes a disable circuit that prevents the open loop detector from triggering at times when the loop is expected to be open such as during ignition and maintenance restarting of the lamp. | 06-26-2014 |

20130257307 | RELAMPING CIRCUIT FOR FLUORESCENT BALLASTS - A system and method of controlling a lighting system is provided. Lamp insertion detectors are coupled to a ballast and detect when relamping occurs. The outputs of the lamp insertion detectors are coupled together to provide a single input of a timing circuit. The timing circuit generates an output having a predetermined duration. This timing circuit output is received by a ballast driver circuit, which causes the ballast to provide a high voltage to a lamp socket for a predetermined duration of the timing circuit output to ignite the new lamp. | 10-03-2013 |

20140175984 | LIGHTING DEVICE WITH A PROTECTION CIRCUIT HAVING DISABLE WINDING - This disclosure describes embodiments of a lighting device with circuitry that can manage current and voltage levels across a plurality of fluorescent lamps. In one embodiment, the circuitry has cross-coupled inductors in series with a pair of lamp sockets. This configuration of components causes fluorescent lamps installed in the lamp sockets to generate substantially the same amount of light by drawing approximately equivalent current throughout the entire operable range of a dimmer control. The circuitry also includes a protection circuit with a winding magnetically coupled with the cross-coupled inductors and a control circuit that can cause impedance across the winding to change from a first impedance to a second impedance in response to operating conditions in the lamps. This feature avoids high operating voltages that can occur across the cross-coupled inductors when one of the fluorescent lamps is inoperable and/or removed from the lamp sockets. | 06-26-2014 |
