1. An encoding device for a light-emitting-diode (LED) lamp, said encoding device being adapted to receive an alternating current (AC) voltage input and display data related to a light-emitting operation, said encoding device comprising:

  • a rectifier for rectifying the AC voltage input to result in a rectified signal; and

    an encoder for generating an encoded signal from the rectified signal and the display data, the encoded signal having an amplitude corresponding to a magnitude of the rectified signal, and a waveform corresponding to the display data, the encoded signal having a plurality of consecutive signal regions of equal time durations, each of the signal regions having one of first and second states, the waveform of the signal region having the first state being a positive half-cycle of an AC sinusoidal wave, the waveform of the signal region having the second state being a low potential waveform.
