Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This application claims priority from Chinese patent application CN202211430373.3, filed on November 16, 2022, entitled "DC Centralized Drive Lighting System," and the entire contents of said Chinese patent application are incorporated herein by reference.

[0002] The present invention relates to the field of lighting technology, in particular to a DC centrally driven lighting system. [Background technology]

[0003] Currently, the lighting light sources used in lighting systems have evolved from the early incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps, and halogen lamps to LED lamps. LED lamps have the advantages of high light efficiency and low power consumption, and are widely used in areas such as office buildings, tunnels, and roads.

[0004] Since LED lamps are DC lamps, they are driven by DC power supplies. Lighting systems with a relatively large number of LED lamps typically use a centralized DC power supply, which is a constant current power supply and includes an AC-DC converter for converting input AC power to constant current DC power. A number of LED lamps are connected in parallel to the output circuit of the constant current power supply. During use of such lighting systems, the total stroke of each LED lamp from the constant current power supply varies, resulting in voltage drops in LED lamps far from the constant current power supply, resulting in inconsistent brightness. Therefore, in August 2018, the applicant filed a patent application entitled "Constant Current and Voltage Equalization Connection Method for LED Lamps and Adjustable LED Lamp with Low Light Loss." While this patent solved the voltage drop problem for the LEDs at the far end of the constant current power supply, the applicant discovered that during use, the voltage of the middle LED lamp was slightly lower than that of the LED lamps at both ends, creating a new voltage drop problem. For example, in Figure 1, U AB The magnitude of the voltage U between CD CD is approximately equal to the voltage U between a and b. ab is U AB Slightly smaller than. Summary of the Invention
