  • Power supply for hybrid illumination system
    Patent number: 6515437
    Abstract: A track lighting hybrid illumination system comprising a power supply circuit (11, 41, 22) having an input for connecting to a voltage source (12, 42) of low frequency for providing an output voltage with altered electrical characteristics, and a pair of conductors (19, 23, 43, 48) coupled to an output of the power supply circuit. A first lamp (29, 25, 31) is coupled to the conductors via a second power supply circuit (28, 26, 34), and at least one further lamp (29, 24, 25, 31) with electrical power requirements of a different characteristic to the first lamp coupled to the conductors.

  • Low voltage illumination system
    Patent number: 6097158
    Abstract: A low voltage illumination system, comprising a pair of terminals for connecting to a source of low frequency a.c. voltage, a frequency converter coupled to the source of a.c. voltage for converting the low frequency a.c. voltage to high frequency a.c. voltage, and a step down transformer coupled to an output of the frequency converter for converting to high frequency, low voltage a.c. A synchronous rectifier is coupled to a secondary of the step down transformer for converting the high frequency low voltage a.c. to a low magnitude nominally d.c. voltage, and a pair of conductors is connected to the low magnitude nominally d.c. voltage for connecting low voltage lamps thereto. Optionally, the step down transformer is of planar design and an integral overload protection circuit is provided responsive to a drop in output impedance across the conductors commensurate with an overload for interrupting power thereto.
