Abstract

With the end of incandescent lamps nearing due to reasons of inefficiency and political regu lations [1], the market of compact fluorescent and solid state lamps is ever meant to in crease. Among the gist of this technology is the need for a specially prepared ballast to ac commodate the ability of driving such a lamp at the mains. Solutions have come up that allow for a more sophisticated approach of dimming these lamps as well, by using already existing wall plug dimmers. This technology can be expanded so that wireless dimming becomes possible. The Bluetooth standard fits this task perfectly, since nowadays virtually all devices, e.g. smart phones and computers, include a Bluetooth transceiver. In this paper the required steps to integrate such features into an existing, dimmable ballast shall be concluded, as well as the exemplary migration of the software component on an Android O.S. device. © VDE Verlag GMBH - Berlin.
