    Abstract: A lighting driver is for receiving an alternating current power supply from a fluorescent lighting ballast. A shunt device is provided for selectively shunting the power supply to implement dimming control. A detector is provided for generating a detection signal and for providing the detection signal to the control circuit to operate the shunt device. The detector has a detection circuit for analyzing a voltage at the driver input and generating 5 the detection signal accordingly, when the voltage is detected. In addition, for situations where the voltage detection does not correctly generate the detection signal, a correction circuit generates the detection signal for a time delay from the end of operating the shunt device. This prevents control stability problems at low dimming levels.
