Until now, dimmable fluorescent luminaires has been widely used for dimming systems, and LED is currently attracting attentions as a alternative lamp due to environmental problem issues. LED, one of eco-friendly high efficiency lamp, has advantage that dimming is easy than fluorescent luminaire. But there have been not enough research on technical development and application for LED dimming. Therefore, to analyze luminous quantity of dimmable LED, the illuminance, color temperature, luminance, and current were measured in the whole range of dimming. In the results of this study, the dimmable LED of various types showed a similar trend in the changed luminous quantity by dimming.

The characteristics of Xe discharge lamp(Mercuryless lamp) are described in this paper. In this paper, FFL is operated by sine wave and pulsed source. We apply V-Q Lissajous' figure for the discharge measurements of FFL which has the electrodes covered with dielectric. When FFL is operated by sine wave source, the characteristics are similar to DBD(Dielectric Barrier Discharge) and SD(Silent Discharge). And we compared the characteristics of FFL which is operated with sine wave and pulsed discharge by using V-Q Lissajous' figure method. When FFL is operated with pulsed, the discharge current flows after the applied voltage is risen. As the duty ratio increases the electric field becomes strong and much more xenon ions are produced. And the number of metastable xenon atoms seem to increase, therefore, the phosphor radiation after the cut off of voltage increases compared with the first peak of radiation. Consequently, the 172㎚ radiation becomes strong as the duty ratio increases.

The Cold cathode fluorescent lamp(CCFL) are widely used to illuminate the liquid crystal display(LCD). Ballasts are required for CCFL because the lamp need high starting voltage and behave negative dynamic resistant characteristics in the desired region of operation. Dimming methods of CCFL are used to pulse frequency modulation(PFM) or pulse width modulation(PWM). In this paper, CCFL driving and control circuit is designed by half-bridge type series and parallel resonant inverter that variable frequency modulation method to control the output voltage current. The validity of this study is confirmed from the simulation and experimental results.

We developed a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method to rapidly diagnose Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) during quarantine inspections of imported wheat, corn, oats, and millet. The LAMP method was developed as a plant quarantine inspection method for the first time, and its simplicity, quickness, specificity and sensitivity were verified compared to current reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and nested PCR quarantine methods. We were able to quickly screen for WSMV at quarantine sites with many test samples; thus, this method is expected to contribute to plant quarantine inspections.

Xylella fastidiosa is the most damaging pathogen in many parts of the world. To increase diagnostic capability of X. fastidiosa in the field, the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay were developed to mqsA gene of citrate-synthase (XF 1535) X. fastidiosa and evaluated for specificity and sensitivity. Both assays were more robust than current published tests for detection of X. fastidiosa when screened against 16 isolates representing the four major subgroups of the bacterium from a range of host species. No cross reaction with DNA from healthy hosts or other species of bacteria has been observed. The LAMP and PCR assays could detect 10-4 pmol and 100 copies of the gene, respectively. Hydroxynaphthol blue was evaluated as an endpoint detection method for LAMP. There was a significant color shift that signaled the existence of the bacterium when at least 100 copies of the target template were present.

The light propagation along a long positive column has been observed in a cold cathode fluorescent lamp. The optical signals are observed with the DC and AC voltage power during lamp operation. The light propagating is observed in the operation with the DC-rippled voltage as well as the AC-voltage. The optical signals propagate from the high voltage side to the ground. These signals show two kinds of features according to the before and after Townsend breakdown. At the dark current before Townsend breakdown, the optical intensity is damped and the propagation velocity is $10^4{\sim}10^5m/s$. At the high current of normal glow after Townsend breakdown, the propagation velocity is 1$10^5{\sim}10^6m/s$ without damping.

To recently, light of the sun and fuel cell etc. which is new and renewable energy is developed with the direct current energy source mostly. And it is necessary that the utilization plan which does supply it properly. In this case, the direct current illumination system can be a typical alternative of it. The system similar to the development system is composed of type which connects to each other the photovoltaic pannel, the charge kit, and the battery bank. I develop all-in-one system which the power supply system and photovoltaic pannel which can charge and use efficiently. Additionally, I exploit the DC lamp module of three wave which can separate the electronic ballasts from the module. Developed the DC Lamp module of all-in-one which can turn on or can turn off, by operation of ON/OFF button. It can be used semipermanently by changing just only electronic ballasts.

The conventional Three-Stage electronic ballast is stable, but Two-Stage electronic ballast has been researching because of efficiency. Three-Stage electronic ballast is consisted of PFC circuit, buck converter, and inverter circuit, but Two-stage is consisted of PFC circuit, Buck-Inverter full bridge circuit. The Buck-Inverter full bridge inverter consists of two half bridge inverters for low frequency switching, and high frequency switching. In the case of street lamp it is far from a lamp to a ballast, the conventional pulsed high voltage ignitor can not turn on the HID lamps because of reduction of ignition voltage. Therefore, it needs to do the research on a resonant ignition to turn on the HID lamps. Therefore, in the Two-Stage electronic ballast which has the resonant tank for ignition, the transient resonant current because of low frequency changing is analyzed, the novel algorithm is proposed to resuce the transient current.

Currently-using low-pressure lamps are usually drivel by the AC power supply. There are good and bad points according to high or low frequency in AC power driving type. For the low-pressure lamps, its efficiency increases and flicker decreases when it ignites at high frequency. So we already use the high-frequency electronic ballast of the low-pressure discharge lamps broadly. But there are EMI interference in high-frequency driving type because of giving the fluorescent lamp the high- frequency current. So recently, we have a tendency to compensate for that defects by DC driving method. As follows, we suggest pseudo DC discharging electronic bar lasts for fluorescent lamps which have the characteristics of high efficiency and no flicker by driving constant current boosted square wave.
