The design of an emergency lighting system for compact fluorescent lamps
نویسندگان
چکیده
Compact fluorescent emergency luminaires present unique challenges. Not only must the emergency gear and ballast be crammed into small confines of the luminaire but there is the additional problem of excessive temperature to deal with. This paper describes the design of an optimal electronic ballast/emergency control unit specifically aimed at the South African market where the traditional switch start solution usually prevails for cost reasons. A detailed design process is presented together with a proposed topology, solutions to hidden pitfalls and measured lamp (heater and arc discharge) characteristics.
