Dual mode operation led lights

Abstract

LED lights rely on fluorescent light fixtures to have a dual mode of operation. The first circuit powers at least one LED in a first mode of operation when the first and second power pins of the first end of the lamp are plugged into power contacts of the lamp holder directly connected to the power line. The second circuit is at least one LED in a second mode of operation when the second power supply pin at the first end of the lamp and the third power supply pin at the second end of the lamp are plugged into the power contacts of a lampholder powered by an electronic ballast powered by. The first and second conduction control members allow the second circuit to power the at least one LED in the second mode of operation.

Description

technical field

[0001] The LED lamp involved in the present invention adopts dual-mode operation, which can be connected to the transmission power through the fluorescent lamp frame or provided with electric power through the electronic ballast connected with the lamp frame. Background technique

[0002] A traditional slim LED (Light Emitting Diode) light can be retrofitted into an existing fluorescent light fixture with its wiring reconfigured to provide mains power directly to the LED light. The "modified" LED lights usually deliver power from a pair of power pins at one end of the light, and a pair of wiring pins at the other end of the light. They are not used to deliver power, but to provide mechanical support for the light. The above-mentioned design of power supply through the power pin at one end of the lamp helps to reduce the potential life threat of the installer due to electric shock from the main current during the installation process of the lamp.

Embodiment 5-10

[0136] Regarding embodiments 5-10, although it is more preferable to use a less expensive non-isolated first circuit 110, a more expensive isolated first circuit 110 may also be used.

[0137] refer to Figure 11 , Embodiment 11 implements the first and second conduction control members 350 and 370 as short circuits 358 and 372, respectively. Fluorescent lamp holder 115 ( figure 2 ), and by making the LED power supply behave as an isolated type in the first circuit 110, the following advantages can be achieved: the second circuit 140 does not interfere with the first circuit 110 regardless of the flickering interference or continuous interference discussed above.

[0138] Embodiment 12 uses an isolated LED power supply in the first circuit 110, and avoids the use of the fluorescent lamp holder 115 ( figure 2 ), to achieve the following advantage: no matter it is the flicker-type interference discussed above or the continuous-type interference, the second circuit 140 does n...
