ABSTRACT:
A capacitively ballasted low voltage lamp comprising a main capacitor connected electrically in series with the lamp, across an alternating current source, and one or more auxiliary capacitors that can be connected electrically across the main capacitor by switching means for one or more source waveform cycles. The minimum lamp current is established by the main capacitor, with additional lamp current flowing through one or more auxiliary capacitors during one or more source waveform cycles.
