  • Publication number: 20100270939
    Abstract: A method for operating a high pressure discharge lamp with the aid of a high frequency signal is disclosed. The high pressure discharge lamp comprises at least one first (14a) and one second electrode (14b), the first (14a) and the second electrodes (14b) being arranged in such a way that the electrode tips (18a, 18b) are situated opposite one another, a filament (16a, 16b) respectively being arranged in the region of the electrode tips (18a, 18b). The high pressure discharge lamp runs through the following phases in a start phase before its stationary operation: a delay phase, a breakdown phase, an electrode heating phase and a burner heating phase. After termination of the electrode heating phase, the first (14a) and the second electrodes (14b) are driven within at least one prescribable time duration in such a way that the high pressure discharge lamp is operated with the aid of a lamp current (Iboost) that is higher than the rated lamp current (Inenn).

  • Patent number: 7821196
    Abstract: An illumination device with at least one LED as the light source, the LED emitting primary radiation in the range from 370 to 430 nm of the optical spectral region (peak wavelength), this radiation being partially or completely converted into radiation of a longer wavelength by three phosphors which are exposed to the primary radiation from the LED and which emit in the blue, green and red spectral regions, so that white light is formed. The conversion is achieved at least with the aid of a phosphor which emits blue light with a wavelength maximum at 440 to 485 nm, and with the aid of a phosphor which emits green light with a wavelength maximum at 505 to 550 nm, and with the aid of a phosphor which emits red light with a wavelength maximum at 560 to 670 nm.

  • Patent number: 7795949
    Abstract: A circuit including a voltage-controlled transistor to be switched. A first transistor is switched on, mediated by a control signal, and a first current flows through a series circuit and starts to subject a control input of the voltage-controlled transistor to charge reversal. The first current brings about a first potential shift at a connecting node. A second transistor is switched on by this first potential shift and a second current therefore flows through the switching path of the second transistor into the control input of the first transistor, which amplifies the first current. The increasing charge reversal of the control input of the voltage-controlled transistor brings about a second potential shift at the connecting node, the second transistor is switched off by this second potential shift, and the first transistor remains switched on, however, and holds the voltage-controlled transistor in its new switching state.
