Identifiable LED lamp and self-adaptive dimming driving system thereof
The present invention provides a self-adaptive dimming driving system, comprising: a lamp base, a driving circuit, a lamp identification circuit, and a controller. The lamp base, where an LED lamp is able to be mounted, comprises an LED power port electrically connected to a power input port of the LED lamp. The driving circuit is connected or coupled to the LED power port and configured to modulate power to be output to the LED lamp and output the modulated power to the LED lamp. The lamp identification circuit outputs a test current to the LED power port in order to turn on an identification resistor of the LED lamp, and receives a voltage parameter of the identification resistor as feedback in order to output a detection signal according to the voltage parameter. The controller receives the detection signal, obtains a correlation parameter of the resistance value of the identification resistor according to the detection signal, and switches a power output mode of the driving circuit according to the correlation parameter.

TWO-WIRE DIMMER OPERATION
Two-wire dimmer operation includes controlling conduction of power to a lighting load. In one aspect, based on a conduction angle adjustment, power supply voltage is monitored and a maximum conduction angle is established based thereon. In another aspect, a dimming level signal is received and a dimming level for a dimmer is set based on the received dimming level. The dimming level signal indicates a desired dimming level for a dimmer, and a maximum value for the dimming level signal is based on a dimmer power supply voltage. In yet another aspect, based on detecting an adjustment to increase a conduction angle of a dimmer, the conduction end angle is increased and the conduction start angle is also increased. This results in a net increase in the conduction angle for controlling operation of the dimmer.
