ABSTRACT:
An energy efficient and cost effective electronic ballast circuit which lights a fluorescent tube but which avoids excessive voltages or pulsing of the tube. The starter circuit preheats the filaments for a time sufficient to ensure quick ignition upon application of an appropriate voltage, then ceases the flow of current after the tube is lighted to avoid wasting energy.
