It is important to decide the best beneficial lighting system in the space when we design the lighting at first stage. A Worksheet to simplify the evaluation of the economics of the lighting system was developed. And it was applied to a general office room for each lamp and ballast combinations, and to a factory room with a high ceiling for each HID lamp systems. When we design the lighting system using the Worksheet, we can easily evaluate the economics through converting the total cost invested on the lighting system to the present value or the annual cost.

An electronic ballast and magnetic ballast are two major types of ballasts used in HID(High Intensity Discharge) lamp. Compared with magnetic ballasts which can last for over 30 years and are recyclable at the end of their long lifetime, electronic ballasts have very short lifetimes due to the use of the electronic devices. In this paper, we developed a magnetic ballast for dual lamps and analyzed electrical characteristics and efficiency. As the experimental results, we confirm that the magnetic ballast for dual lamps makes it possible to effectively reduce current, active and reactive powers than conventional ballast.

Photometric analysis is essential process to make design for 300W Electrodeless flood lighting fixture. But lighting source's unusual shape makes it difficult to fix in and so we supposed two kinds of installation method to solve this matter. One is to place lamp base down and second is to put lamp base side like normal HID lamps. In result, former photometric analysis came to reach a target for similar asymmetric photometric data meanwhile we can not escape work to design complicated reflector. Second analysis reached conclusion that it is more simplified reflector than former. On its lighting fixture's design, the former reflector is new and attractive breaking fixed idea but the latter is only staying in the range of existing HID lighting design.

This paper shows a structure for an electronic ballast of HID lamps. An electronic ballast for HID lamps usually employs a high-frequency resonant inverter and voltage-to-frequency converter to control the output. A half-bridge and series resonant circuit are chosen for the ballast. The inverter with V/F converter is modeled with a transfer function and a self-feedback controller is proposed. This structure is analyzed and the feedback gain is determined by using the inverter model. Experimental system is built with a commercial 250W high pressure sodium lamp and the results show a validity of the proposed ballast.

Today there is an ever increasing effort to control high-pressure discharge lamps with electronic ballast. HID lamps can be ignited by high-voltage pulses and need an ignitor to start them. An ignitor gives high-voltage pulses to HID lamps which have the type of the arc discharge. Three kinds of ignitor circuits have been analyzed by the P-spice program and we have shown experimental results in this paper. The result of this study seems to be able to help to develope various ignitors.

In this paper, we analyzed and measured the characteristics of the ballasts for HID lamps according to the cable properties. The ignition voltage and the steady state voltage and current are depend on the feature and the length of the cables. So we measured characteristics at 25[m] and 100[m] distances used by a low frequency electronic ballast a high frequency electronic ballast and a magnetic ballast. By measured and analyzed result of characteristics for various kinds of ballast and cables, we concluded that the electronic ballast driving with the low frequency is better than my other ballasts, and that the capacitance between the cables is important.

A high-efficiency electronic ballast for HID lamps is presented. The ballast consists of a PFC and a resonant inverter. To reduce losses of the ballast, DC link voltage should be determined by taking into account the peak voltage of lamp and the maximum flux density should be kept 0.2[T] on all of inductors. AR inductor at bridge diode is employed in order to remove currant harmonics from PFC. An inductor is connected in series with an electrolytic capacitor at DC link to reject high-frequency current. The acoustic resonance is eliminated using the stead spectrum technique. The electronic ballast for 250[W] metal-halide discharge lamp is implemented and 96[%] efficiency, no acoustic resonance and low conducted EMI level are accomplished.

HID 램프란 High Intensity Discharge Lamps의 약어로서 고압 방전램프라 하고, 대규모 공간의 조명이 필요한 공공시설, 산업시설, 상업시설 이외에 스포츠 시설 등 폭넓은 용도에 대응하고 있다. HID 램프는 부성저항 특성으로 인하여 직접 전원에 접속하기 때문에 램프 전류가 흐르게 되면 급격히 전류가 증가하여 전류의 흐름이 매우 불안하게 된다. 따라서 이것을 안정시키기 위하여 전원과 램프사이에 전류 제한장치인 안정기(Ballast)로 램프전류를 적절하게 제어할 필요가 있다. 본 고에서는 안정기를 구성하는 구성 재료와 부품이 사용 중에 주로 영향을 받는 것으로 생각되는 열화요인과 이에 대한 수명의 관계를 중심으로 안정기의 수명에 대해서 논하고자 한다.

본 논문은 150W HID 램프용 안정기의 공진 점등에 관한 것으로, 기존의 외부 펄스에 의한 점등 시 램프와 안정기의 거리에 따른 점등전압의 감쇠를 감소시키고자 내부 LC를 이용한 공진 점화부로 하여 기능을 향상하였으나, 벅 컨버터의 인덕터와 커패시터로 공진 기동하여 고전압 점등 파형을 만드는 과정 중 스위치 전류가 커지는 문제가 발생하여, 점등을 위한 공진용 커패시터용량을 줄여 공진 Q점을 나눈 별도의 L(T1)과 C(C2, C3)를 공진 탱크로 이용하여 점등하도록 하였으며, 공진 공진주파수로의 주파수 SWEEP 및 재 점등을 하기 위하여 마이크로프로세서를 이용하였다.
