Various types of electronic starter have been developed for the general fluorescent lamps with magnetic-type ballasts. However, the FL032/T8 fluorescent lamp requires higher voltage to discharge the lamp. The general starter with two-terminal is not suitable for the FL032/T8 slim-line type fluorescent for its higher discharge voltage. The suitable starter with three terminals have been studied for the FL032/T8 lamp in this paper. The developed starter have better characteristics in view points of the discharge voltage magnitude. We have proposed and designed the three terminals electronic starter. The proposed starter have been experimented and compaired with the other 2-terminal general starters. By the experimental results, we have concluded that the proposed starter is suitable to the FL032/T8 lamp.

In this paper, remote control and surveillance monitoring system of HID street-lamp using low-cost type of Zigbee communication module was developed. A plurality of capacitors with different capacity are attached to magnetic ballast for HID lamps. Changes in the amount of illumination can be adjusted by the changes in capacity so that the electric energy can be reduced. In Zigbee communication module, a ATmega128L microprocessor is used and in main CPU, ARM9 Core is used to construct a low-cost smart system. In surveillance monitoring systems, the system was configured to remote monitoring of presence of error in the lamp abnormalities, the status of leakage current and abnormalities of ballasts and capacitors and the validity of the proposed empirical experiment was confirmed.

In this paper, we studied the development of the electronic ballast for 250W MH (Metal-Halide) lamps. We were able to improve the input power factor by using a PFC IC. To provide the lamp with the rated voltage required, we used the buck-type dc-dc converter. The stress of the switching devices in the inverter could be reduced by this method. To eliminate the acoustic resonance phenomena of MH lamps, the voltage of the lamp added the high frequency sine-wave to the low frequency square-wave by using the full bridge typed inverter. We have developed a simple igniter using the L and C elements. We could control the dimness of the lamp by varying the output voltage of the buck converter. The buck converter output voltage could be controlled by using a microprocessor.

A three-wavelength solar bank is a very important part for a solar simulator with commercial superlux lamps. It is projected metal halide lamps to satisfy following points simultaneously: $\pm$10% of uniformity for irradiance of target area and irradiance in each wave region, and $1,232W/m^2$ of maximum solar irradiance in summer. The developed solar lamp bank has been analyzed numerically by commercial programs in this study to carry out experiments. In conclusion, designed B-type heat lamp is not concentrated in one place than designed A-type heat lamp, it is spreaded widely, and it was proved numerical computation. We suggest that solar simulator is applied to actual experiment test through heat flow numerical analysis in solar lamp bank and the lamp is applied private industry or the military using complex environmental assessment test.

Currently, road lightings are installed with less than 400W of existing metal halide lamps. These road lightings are being replaced by energy-saving lightings. Induction lamps are expected to be more actively replaced with targets for tunnel lighting and high ceiling lighting. Therefore, it is necessary to develop high efficiency, high power induction lamps system. In this study, the gas type & pressure, amalgam type were designed for the high power of the induction lamps. And induction lamp system was optimized through electrical, optical characteristics analysis. It is optimized to the gas pressure 300~350 [mmHg] for the discharge tube of high power induction lamp and ferrite core. The driving circuit matching was completed with a induction lamp using indium amalgam. The rated power consumption of the induction lamp was optimized with 250 W (rated ${\pm}10%$)

An electric power efficiency of electrodeless fluorescent lamp has big relativie property of gas in lamp, gas pressure, lamp formation, ingredients of magnetic substance and shape and action frequency etc. We used magnetic substance that open self-examination material of electrodeless fluorescent lamp antenna. Ferrite that is used in this experiment was Mn-Zn type. We have examined resistance kind, impedance, Q-factor's frequency characteristic by ferrite. Impedance, resistance and capacitance did not show difference in start frequency 2.65 [MHz] but there was difference quantity. We could know Q-factor's difference according to material, and Q-factor's is important part of antenna design.

Generally Lighting system consists of lamp and luminaire. When a fluorescent lamp is installed in luminaire, power and light output is changed by ambient temperature. Particularly electrodeless lamp depends on the changes that are mercury pressure with amalgam temperature and magnetic properties with ferrite temperature. It has finally influence on optical efficiency. In this study, the temperature change of ferrite and cold spot, vessel are measured at transitional state and then same characteristics are measured with increase of ambient temperature. At transitional state, luminous flux is related to temperature change of cold spot that compare with behavior of mercury pressure and light output. At increase of ambient temperature, we analyzed change that efficiency and electrical, optical characteristics of elecrodeless lamp are related to ferrite core and cold spot temperature.

Ferrite that is used in this experiment was Mn-Zn type. Coill turn was changed from 13th to 13th turn to recognize brightness change of lamp by winding number. Optical equipment that used in an experiment was used to measure brightness (LS-100). When an electrodeless fluorescent ]amp was made using and T company's PE22, was it showed the highest brightness. As number of winding is increased the brightness increased, and starting characteristic became good.

When measuring the luminous flux of a light source at the integrating sphere photometer, it can know the luminous flux to compare the standard lamp with the specimen lamp at the same location. But in case of PLS(plasma lighting system, microwave discharged lamp), that two lamps are cannot be the same location. If the reference illuminant and specimen lamp are cannot measure identical location, we should measure the variation of the luminous flux. For the outcome we can turn out a correction factor to revise and reflect it. But the better way is calibrate the specimen lamp locate the identical location of reference illuminant measured. In this thesis, we've test to find the correction factor for consider that change the measuring location. And it turns out the correction factor. From this, it presents the result to make a select for the reference illuminant which is against the illuminant type for newly produce.

We described the operating principles of two different type of igniters for lightning of Ceramic Metal Halide Lamp(CMHL) and also provide some useful comparisons. One is for magnetic ballast, the other one is for electronic ballast which operates lamp by low-frequency square-waveform. Ignition voltage of lamp depends on the structure of igniter, such as the length and electrical characteristics of cable, which make troubles for ignition in real sites. Therefore, we measured and analyzed ignition voltages from igniters which are used in magnetic and electronic ballast in cables at a distance of 5 meters between a lamp and a igniter to suggests an applicable solution in real sites.
