Problems solved by technology

Given the low signaling rate of this digital connection or interface, it is not possible to control the connected luminaires via external control information about rapidly changing actual brightness values
Therefore, according to this prior art, very fast light changing brightness effects cannot be achieved

Embodiment Construction

[0032] figure 1 A preferred embodiment of the system of the present invention is shown. The system 1 generally comprises an operating device 2 for operating one or more luminaires 3 . The operating device 2 can in particular be an electronic ballast 2 for at least one lamp 3 , in particular for at least one fluorescent lamp, such as a gas discharge lamp. However, the lighting device can also be, for example, a light emitting diode.

[0033] The illustrated electronic ballast 2 has inputs 4a and 4b for a light sensor interface 5 and also has two control inputs 6a and 6b for preferably connecting to a digital control bus or control lines 7a and 7b.

[0034] The inputs 4 a , 4 b and the control inputs 6 a , 6 b are connected to a control mechanism 8 of the electronic ballast 2 .

[0035] An external resistor can be connected to the light sensor interface 5 of the electronic ballast 2 . In particular, a light sensor or a photoresistor can be connected to the light sensor inter...

Abstract

The method involves connecting a light sensor with an interface entrance (5) of an operating unit (2). The interface entrance conserves a passive electronic or opto-electronic element for receiving an actively transmitted signal. A photo sensor, which is the passive element, transmits the actual value of brightness to the operating unit. The element is an acoustic sensor, a vibration sensor or a pressure sensor. The actively transmitted signal is an analogous signal or a digital signal. The passive element is a potentiometer. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a system for operating an illuminant (2) a method for wireless communication between two operating unit for an illuminant (3) a system for wireless communication between two operating unit for an illuminant.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the operation of lighting devices such as fluorescent lamps and gas discharge lamps. In particular, the invention relates to an operating device or an electronic ballast provided with an input interface to which a light sensor for monitoring brightness can be connected, and also to a method for using the input interface. Background technique [0002] It is basically known from EP0965252B1 that, for the purpose of operating a lamp, an electronic ballast is provided with a connection mechanism to which a light sensor for monitoring the brightness of a given space area can be connected. The light sensor for adjusting the brightness detects the actual brightness value in the illuminated area of ​​the luminaire. These actual brightness values ​​are supplied to the operating device via the connection. The brightness of the lamp is detected by the light sensor, and is controlled by the operating device according to the actual bright...
