AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing operating devices for lighting systems consume excess energy for continuous performance data measurement, particularly in standby mode, which increases operational costs and contradicts the goal of reducing total power consumption.

Method used

Implementing a control device that switches off performance data determination during standby mode and employs quasi-continuous measurement at intervals, reducing energy consumption by intermittently activating a determination device for power measurement.

Benefits of technology

Reduces energy consumption by minimizing continuous performance data measurement in standby mode, achieving energy-efficient and cost-effective power monitoring without compromising data accuracy.

Abstract

Operating device for operating one or more light sources (1), in particular LEDs, comprising a detection device (9) for determining performance data of the operating device during operation of the light sources (1) and in standby mode; and a control device (7) for controlling the detection device (9), wherein the control device (7) is configured to deactivate the determination of the performance data at least in standby mode of the operating device for a certain period of time, wherein at least in standby mode the deactivation and reactivation of the detection device (9) is carried out cyclically, characterized in that the control device (7) is configured to set the period between deactivation and reactivation as a function of at least one operating parameter of the operating device.
