In this paper, a current-balancing converter is proposed herein and applied to driving LED strings paralleled, so as to make the required current shared among LED string. There are two stages of the proposed current-balancing converter. The first stage is one buck converter under constant current control and transfers DC current to AC current, whereas the second stage is passive AC-DC rectifiers with...

A simple method is proposed to measure the heat dissipation of LEDs and fluorescent lamps in an open system which allows light energy to escape. Based on this method, a comparative study on the thermal and luminous performance of high-brightness LEDs and fluorescent lamps is presented. At rated power, T5 & T8 fluorescent lamps generate about 73% - 77% of their total power as heat, whilst three...
An interleaved SEPIC converter with LED current dimmable and input power factor correction is proposed as a high performance driver for the high brightness white LEDs. The converter is controlled with voltage mode PWM and run in discontinuous conduction mode so that the inductor current follows the rectified input voltage. The critical design constraints and equations for both the power stage and...
