Abstract

See full text

A method of converting a line voltage to an RMS load voltage in a lamp includes modulating a load voltage with a pulse width modulation circuit that is entirely within the lamp and provides an RMS load voltage to a light emitting element of the lamp. Conduction is triggered in the pulse width modulation circuit independently of a line voltage magnitude with a time-based signal source that defines a duty cycle of the pulse width modulation circuit suitable for the RMS load voltage.
