The circuit diagrams pertain to how compact fluorescent lamps were made to provide several benefits like longer life span and lower power consumption as compared with classic light bulbs. One of the ...

First, let’s make the distinction between Articles 410 and 411 of the 2011 NEC. Article 410 provides the requirements for installing luminaires, lampholders, lamps ...

Q. What type of circuit breaker does the Code allow to be used for switching duty of lighting circuits? A. Circuit breakers used to switch 120V or 277V fluorescent lighting circuits must be listed and ...

Resonant-mode topologies offer many benefits over traditional buck, boost, and flyback solutions. These include soft-switching, higher operating frequencies, higher power density, and higher ...

Using a fluorescent probe that lights up when brain cells are electrically active, MIT and Boston University researchers have shown that they can image the activity of many neurons at once, in the ...

With dimming levels down to 10%, a new IC minimizes component count to improve dimming-circuit speed, simplify design, and open up new dimming applications. Designing Dimming Circuits for Fluorescent ...
