ABSTRACT:
An electronic starter for fluorescent lamps includes a hybrid solid state switch energized by a line and filtering unit connected in series with a pulse restrictor. The inputs of the hybrid solid state switch and the line and filtering unit are connected to a terminal. Also included in the starter is a pulse generator connected to the output of the hybrid solid state switch, the output of the pulse generator being connected to another terminal. The starter is connectable through such terminals to a power source, is parallel to the bridged terminals of a fluorescent lamp, and in series to the ballast of the lamp.
