1. A method for initiating and controlling a lighting equipment, comprising the steps of:

  • a initiating the lighting equipment at a maximum lighting level according to the specification required by the original manufacturer by applying a first electrical current, provided that no electrical current level used during a previous stable operation of the lighting equipment is stored;

    b. detecting and determining through an algorithm whether a flicker of light may occur;

    c. if determining that a flicker of light may occur, calculating to obtain a current compensation ratio that the electrical current used in step b must be increased to a second current to prevent the occurrence of flicker and performing immediately a current compensation by applying the second current to prevent the occurrence of flicker; and

    d. allowing the lighting equipment to stably operate at the second current level and storing the second current level for initiating the lighting equipment next time.
