ABSTRACT:
A fluorescent lamp dimming system which can be used in a retrofit manner with existing fluorescent lamp ballasts achieves a greater degree of energy management than has been previously possible. A dimming control having closed-loop feedback uses integrals of current as a measure of light output from the fluorescent lamps. The electronic control circuit implements complex control methods in a minimal space and at a minimal cost.
