A lighting system includes at least one solid state light adapted to replace a lamp in a fluorescent lamp fixture, and a power supply configured to convert power drawn from the fluorescent lamp fixture to power the at least one solid state light. The power supply includes a rectifier, a voltage regulator, a power output for the at least one solid state light, and an auxiliary DC power output. The power supply is configured to generate a regulated DC voltage and/or current at the auxiliary DC power output based on the power drawn from the fluorescent lamp fixture. |
