Abstract
Currently, road lightings are installed with less than 400W of existing metal halide lamps. These road lightings are being replaced by energy-saving lightings. Induction lamps are expected to be more actively replaced with targets for tunnel lighting and high ceiling lighting. Therefore, it is necessary to develop high efficiency, high power induction lamps system. In this study, the discharge tube design, lmap gas, lighting circuit, and lighting fixture were designed for the high power of the induction lamps. And Induction lamp system was optimized through electrical, optical, thermal characteristics analysis and simulation. For the development of the high power induction lamp, the induction lamp was fabricated according to the design factors such as gas type, gas pressure, discharge tube, ferrite core size, amalgam, and driving frequency after the improvement of the existing process.

In addition, the design and manufacture of the lighting circuit for the high power induction lamp were carried out. The light distribution characteristics through the optical design of the lighting fixture were compared and analyzed, and the illuminance distribution characteristics were simulated to develop the optimized high power induction lamp system. The discharge tube size of the high power induction lamp was 62mm, and the gas was optimized to Kr 100% and gas pressure 300 ~ 350[mmHg]. When the indium amalgam was applied, the induction lamp maintained the same power. As a result, optimization of the induction lamp, lighting circuit, and lighting fixture was completed in accordance with the rating. The characteristic analysis through the design of the lighting circuit for the induction lamp proceeded to improve and supplement. Based on the optical characteristics of the induction lamp and the system effect according to the driving frequency of the lighting circuit, the driving frequency was optimized to 135kHz. An optical simulation was performed according to the distance between the lamp and the reflector by using the OptisWorks program. and illuminance simulation was performed for each height according to the light distribution by using the Relux program. As a result, the high power induction lamp high ceiling fixture was completed.

In conclusion, Based on the high power induction lamp, ligthing circuit, lighting fixture optimization study was to present a guide for design and evaluation of induction lamp system. It is expected to be applied to additional induction lamp research and development in future.
