Abstract :
This paper presents an electronic ballast based high power LEDs for headlights automobile. The ballast is based on a buck converter to feed a load of high power LED. The load is divided into five high power LED (10W), in automobile lighting systems rapid changes of lighting is required (power changes), therefore the buck converter must deliver constant voltage levels to changes in power and further the current necessary to maintain a flow of light required. To solve this problem this paper proposes a control law for buck converter control, which maintains a fixed voltage level for the different power (10.9W, 21.8W, 32.7W, 43.6W, 54.5W) dynamic response to these changes is fast and constant levels of current and luminous flux at each change of load is maintained.
