Abstract:
A light-emitting diode (LED) tube lamp adapted to install on a lamp socket and configured to emit light when receiving an external driving signal without the external driving signal passing through or being output from a ballast includes a lamp tube, two end caps, each having at least one external connection terminal, a rectifying circuit, for rectifying the external driving signal to produce a rectified signal; a filtering circuit, for filtering the rectified signal to produce a filtered signal; an LED module, disposed on a power loop of the LED tube lamp, coupled to the filtering circuit, and configured for emitting light; a driving circuit coupled between the rectifying circuit and the LED module, and configured to drive the LED module; a mode determination circuit coupled to the rectifying circuit and the driving circuit and configured to detect the voltage level of the rectified signal; a switch circuit; and an installation detection circuit coupled to the mode determination circuit, the switch circuit, and the rectifying circuit; and configured to detect an installation state between the LED tube lamp and a lamp socket based on the voltage level of the rectified signal detected by the mode determination circuit.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for driving an LED tube lamp, comprising:\n receiving an external driving signal, without the external driving signal passing through or being output from a ballast, from both ends of the LED tube lamp; rectifying the received external driving signal to produce a rectified signal; and detecting a voltage level of the rectified signal, through a passive component string for determining an installation state between the LED tube lamp and a lamp socket, wherein when the installation state indicates the LED tube lamp is properly installed on the lamp socket, the method further comprises: converting the rectified signal into a lamp driving signal; and maintaining a power loop of the LED tube lamp in a conducting state, thus causing the LED tube lamp to emit light in response to the lamp driving signal, wherein when the installation state indicates the LED tube lamp is not properly installed on the lamp socket, the method further comprises: causing the power loop to be open, to prevent the lamp driving signal from driving the LED tube lamp, resulting in the LED tube lamp not emitting light.
