ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to starting and supplying a low-pressure discharge lamp which comprises two electrodes between which a main discharge path is formed, a shunt path being electrically in parallel with at least a portion of said main discharge path.
In accordance with the invention the lamp is started by means of a glow-discharge starter which is shunted by a VDR the threshold voltage of which is lower than a value determined by the geometry of the shunt path, and is higher than the minimum voltage for starting a discharge in the main discharge path. The discharge then only starts in the main discharge path.
