Abstract:
The invention provides a solid state (e.g. LED) tubular lighting device having pin safety circuits connected to connecting pins at each end. A driver circuit is connected to the outputs of the pin safety circuits. The pin safety circuits each comprise a TRIAC switch which is adapted to form a closed switch in response to a voltage between the connecting pins. This provides a pin safety solution suitable at least for rapid start EM ballasts.

Claim (Index 1):
A tubular lighting device comprising:\n a tubular housing having an elongate axis and first and second opposite ends, each end comprising two projecting electrical connection pins; a first pin safety circuit electrically connected to the connecting pins at the first end and having a first power supply output terminal; a second pin safety circuit electrically connected to the connecting pins at the second end and having a second power supply output terminal; a solid state lighting arrangement; and a lighting driver circuit for driving the solid state lighting arrangement, the lighting driver circuit being connected to the first and second power supply output terminals for receiving power from the first and second pin safety circuits, wherein the pin safety circuits each comprise a TRIAC switch having an input terminal, an output terminal and a gate terminal, wherein the input terminal is connected to one of the connection pins, the gate terminal is connected to the other of the connection pins and the output terminal is connected to the respective power supply output terminal, wherein the TRIAC is adapted to form a closed switch in response to a voltage between the input terminal and the gate terminal.
