Dimmable Aquarium Light with Simulated Sunrise and Sunset

Published in issue 391, July/August 2009

Electronic ballasts (EBs) for fluorescent lamps, also known as electronic control gear (ECG), have advantages over their conventional cousins: higher efficiency, flicker-free start-up, no 50 Hz (60 Hz) flicker and longer tube life. The interface described in this article provides an interference-proof DC voltage of up to 10 V, which, when loaded, delivers an essentially constant current of 0.6 mA.
