Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional single-phase AC power lamps experience brightness pulsation due to voltage pulses, and multiphase AC power sources exacerbate this issue by causing different phase voltages to generate varying brightness levels, leading to reduced synthetic illumination and reactive power consumption.

Innovation Solution

A three-phase or multiphase AC power system drives solid-state light emitting members arranged adjacently or with overlapping configurations, utilizing a solid-state switch device to control AC conductivity phase angle, thereby reducing brightness pulsation and regulating current and voltage to conserve power.
