Abstract:
1. A ballast circuit adapted for converting an input alternating current AC mains power received at input terminals to an output alternating current (AC) to supply a load, the ballast circuit comprising: an output terminal adapted for connection to the load in parallel with another ballast circuit, wherein the ballast circuit is configured to supply the output AC current to the load in parallel with an AC current output of the other ballast circuit; a synchronization module operatively attached to said output terminal, the synchronization module adapted for synchronizing the output alternating current (AC) of the ballast circuit with said AC current output of said other ballast circuit; and a microprocessor and a communication interface attached thereto, wherein the microprocessor is configured to be re-programmed through said communications interface to supply a higher AC current than the output AC current previously programmed.
