Abstract :
A fluorescent lamp model for high frequency dimming electronic ballast simulation is presented in this paper. The model can be utilized for an electronic ballast simulation with continuous dimming and transient mode simulation such as step dimming. The model is implemented using SPICE and verified with experimental results, resulting in good agreement down to 1% dimming level
