no. 3 Embodiment approach

[0075] The discharge lamp lighting device according to any one of the first embodiment and the second embodiment can be incorporated in a lighting fixture to which the high-pressure discharge lamp La is attached, or can be used as an external ballast provided separately from the lighting fixture. In addition, such a lighting fixture may be combined with a human sensor or a brightness sensor to constitute a lighting system that controls light output based on the sensor. In addition, it can also be combined with a timer to form a lighting system that controls light output according to a time period. In addition, it can also be used in a projection-type image display device using a high-pressure discharge lamp La as a light source or in a vehicle headlamp lighting device.

Abstract

An electric discharge lamp device (La) in which periods (HF1, HF2) during which it outputs a high-frequency voltage for allowing a resonance circuit to resonate and periods (FB1, FB2) during which it outputs a rectangular wave voltage are alternately repeated when it starts up an electric discharge lamp (La) and a low-frequency rectangular wave voltage is applied to the electric discharge lamp (La) through a start-up circuit (4) when the electric discharge lamp (La) is operated. The electric discharge lamp (La) comprises a start-up detecting circuit (5) for detecting start-up of the electric discharge lamp (La) for the periods (FB1, FB2) during which the rectangular wave voltage is outputted and a control circuit (3C) for stopping the high-frequency voltage or lowering the frequency of the high-frequency voltage when the start-up of the electric discharge lamp (La) is detected. The control circuit (3C) increases the number of repetitions of the periods during which the high-frequency voltage and the rectangular wave voltage are alternately outputted when the start-up of the electric discharge lamp (La) is detected when once. With this, reliable start-up capability of an electric discharge lamp device alternately generating a high-frequency voltage and a rectangular wave voltage at start-up is ensured.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a discharge lamp lighting device for lighting a high-pressure discharge lamp and a lighting fixture using the same. Background technique [0002] The high-pressure discharge lamp can obtain a high-brightness output beam in a compact shape, and since it is close to a point light source, it is easy to control the light distribution, so it has recently been used as an alternative to incandescent lamps or halogen lamps. It is generally believed that the voltage required to start a high-pressure discharge lamp requires a high-voltage pulse of several thousand volts. As a conventional example, the high pressure discharge lamp is as Image 6 A representative circuit configuration is shown. [0003] 1 is a DC power supply, 2 is a DC / DC converter, and 3 is a DC / AC converter. Inductor L2 and capacitor C2 form a resonant circuit. In addition, 2C is a control circuit of the DC / DC converter 2 , and 3C is a control circuit of the ...
