A fluorescent lamp adapted for effecting stepless dimming with a regular
SCR dimmer, comprising a filter and rectifier circuit (1), a DC high
voltage stabilizing circuit (2), a voltage signal detection and frequency
control circuit (6), a lamp load (4), a lamp current feedback circuit (5)
and a voltage signal sampling circuit (3) thereby changing the power
factor and luminous intensity of the lamp in accordance with the
variation of the conduction phase angle of the silicon controlled
rectifier dimmer. The present invention solves the discontinuity and
instability issues in course of dimming operation and is particularly
adapted for use in an integrated compact fluorescent lamp.
