ABSTRACT:
An apparatus that provides constant illumination in response to an AC input power source having variable magnitude. The input power passes through a full wave rectifier and is then switched by a solid state switching device having conductive and nonconductive states to a passive L-C filter. The output of the filter energizes one or more lamps to provide the illumination. A phase control circuit is responsive to a sync signal from the full wave rectifier and a feedback signal from the output of the filter and controls the phase angle conduction time of the solid state switching device at a repetition rate related to the frequency of the AC input power to provide constant illumination from the lamp.
