ABSTRACT:
A combination incandescent/fluorescent lighting system is shown that gives an efficient, high quality light. An incandescent lamp in series with the fluorescent lamp is used as a ballast. An auxiliary starting circuit is used to create a high voltage for starting circuit flow through the fluorescent lamp. After current flow through the fluorescent lamp has started, the auxiliary circuit has essentially no effect on the remaining operation of the lighting system. A reversing switch for the fluorescent lamp is operable with an ON/OFF switch for reversing current flow through the fluorescent lamp each time the lighting system is cycled through ON/OFF. This prevents the light inside of the fluorescent lamp from migrating to one end thereof. The circuit is designed for efficient operation from an auxiliary source of power, such as the wind or sun, either singularly or in combination with a standard AC power source.
