ABSTRACT:
A circuit arrangement for operating a lamp comprising input terminals for connection to a supply voltage source. A DC-AC converter is coupled to said input terminals for generating a high frequency signal. A piezoelectric transformer having a primary side that is coupled to the DC-AC converter and a secondary side that is coupled to terminals for lamp connection and a dimming circuit for adjusting the light output of the lamp. The DC-AC converter generates a substantially square wave shaped signal and the dimming circuit is coupled to the DC-AC converter for adjusting the lamp light output by adjusting the duty cycle of the substantially square wave shaped signal. A lamp operated by the circuit arrangement is dimmable over a wide range while the amount of power dissipated in the circuit arrangement is relatively low, even when the lamp is dimmed.
