ABSTRACT:
It is the purpose of the present discharge lamp lighting system to provide reignition energy to a discharge lamp in each half cycle of the a.c. power source. The discharge lamp is connected to a conventional a.c. power source through ballast means and an oscillation booster circuit, which provides an intermittent oscillation output for the reignition operation of the discharge lamp. The operation period of the intermittent oscillation output is so controlled that the reignition operation period is included in each half cycle of the discharge lamp current. The lamp voltage and source voltage are established to agree as much as possible with each other for minimizing the terminal voltage of the ballast means, whereby a compact and economical device with a small inductance ballast means is achieved.
