Abstract
Described herein is a surge protection device for protecting luminaires from high surge voltages. The surge protection device comprises shunt impedance elements positioned in connections between a driver and a light-emitting diode module to direct current generated by differential mode surges and/or common mode surges to ground so that light-emitting diode elements in the light-emitting diode module are not destroyed. Series impedance elements may also be provided between the driver and the shunt impedance elements.
