    Abstract: A tubular solid state lighting device has a pin safety circuit electrically connected to connection pins of the one end. The pin safety circuit comprises two protection components, of different types. In one set of examples, there is an electrically controlled isolation switch and an electronic switch which functions as a high voltage isolation barrier. The switch provides full galvanic contact separation, whereas the isolation barrier provides current protection if the isolation switch is not functional. In another set of examples, there is a mechanically controlled isolation switch and an electrical or electronic isolation barrier. This provides two levels of protection, but requiring only a single manual operation by the installer of the lighting device. It avoids end-of-life protection circuitry being triggered during the installation of the lighting device.

    Abstract: A retrofit lamp is for use with a fluorescence lighting ballast. The retrofit lamp comprises a filament emulation circuit. A detection circuit detects (at least) if a connected ballast is an instant start electronic ballast or an electromagnetic ballast by detecting a potentially existing heating voltage across the filament emulation circuit. In response, an LED arrangement may be connected in a series configuration (for an instant start electronic ballast) or in a parallel configuration (for an electromagnetic ballast). In this way, the output power is managed to ensure efficient operation. A different pin safety function may also be provided in the different configurations.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure involve a detection circuit for a tube and a tube including the detection circuit. The detection circuit comprises: impedance connected between two ends of a tube; a voltage detector configured to detect voltage on the impedance; a voltage threshold circuit configured to provide a voltage threshold; a first control circuit configured to compare voltage across the two ends of the tube to the voltage threshold, and to control the voltage detector to detect only when the voltage across the two ends of the tube is smaller than the voltage threshold. By using the detection circuit of the present disclosure, it can detect whether a human body contacts the tube under protection state, to avoid of the risk of getting an electrical shock.
