ABSTRACT:
A conventional non-dimming ballast for fluorescent lamps is modified to achieve a 100:1 dimming ratio by connecting a switching module to the ballast. The switching module switches current to and from the fluorescent lamps under control of a level control, resulting in the desired light output. The switching module may be connected either in series or in parallel with the lamps.
