Abstract:
A driving method for driving an LED tube lamp is disclosed. The LED tube lamp includes a lamp tube, two end caps, an LED module, and a power supply module including an electric shock detection circuit. The driving method is capable of detecting whether a human touches the conductive part of the LED tube lamp when one end of the LED tube lamp has been inserted into a lamp socket.

Claim (Index 23):
A driving method for driving a light-emitting diode (LED) tube lamp having a lamp tube and two end caps respectively disposed on opposite sides of the lamp tube, comprising:\n receiving an external driving signal from at least two external connection terminals disposed on the end caps; detecting whether an external impedance is electrically connected to the LED tube lamp; when the external impedance is not detected while the external driving signal is being received, the driving method comprises:\n rectifying the external driving signal by a rectifying circuit to generate a rectified signal; \n filtering the rectified signal by a filtering circuit to generate a filtered signal; \n converting the filtered signal into a lamp driving signal by a driving circuit; and \n providing the lamp driving signal to drive an LED module of the LED tube lamp, wherein a power loop is formed by a current path passing through the rectifying circuit, the filtering circuit, the driving circuit and the LED module; and \n when the external impedance is detected while the external driving signal is being received, the driving method comprises: disabling the driving circuit from converting the filtered signal, so as to limit a current from conducting on the power loop.
