Abstract:
A double-capped LED lamp operates on an electronic ballast for a low-pressure discharge lamp. The lamp has a first lamp cap having at least one first lamp connection, a second lamp cap having at least one second lamp connection, and an LED driver unit, which is electrically coupled between the first lamp connection and the second lamp connection, for activating a plurality of LEDs on the basis of a lamp voltage supplied by the electronic ballast between the first lamp connection and the second lamp connection in a first operating state. The lamp comprises a switching element for the galvanic separation of the first lamp connection from the LED driver unit in a second operating state, and an activation device for switching at least from the second operating state into the first operating state according to the lamp voltage.
