ABSTRACT:
A fluorescent lamp operating circuit includes a high frequency electronic ballast circuit for providing a controlled output to a fluorescent lamp load. A control signal is detected from the power line carrier which includes binary data indicative of the illumination level desired. The control signal comprises a multi-bit binary signal which is detected by the control circuit and used to control the frequency of the power supply circuit so that the fluorescent light illumination level may be dimmed over a wide range.
