ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for powering a lamp connected to a ballast circuit. The ballast circuit is connected to a first alternating current (AC) source having a first phase and to a second AC source having a second phase. A first rectifier circuit is connected between the first AC source and a first switching circuit. A second rectifier circuit is connected between the second AC source and a first switching circuit. A control circuit selectively energizes the first and second switching circuits to provide power from the first and second AC sources to the lamp load via an inverter circuit. A detection circuit generates a detection signal indicating whether power is being supplied by each the first and second AC sources. The detection signal is provided to a dimming regulation circuit to generate a dim level command signal for dimming the lamp.
