ABSTRACT:
A light source including a spiral line pulse generator having an output coupled to one electrode of a high pressure discharge lamp and having an input for coupling to a source of lamp operating power for providing high voltage lamp starting pulses. This pulse generator includes, in addition to a spiral line generator, a solid state electronic switch in combination with an inductor. The electronic switch and inductor are connected in series between the conductors of the spiral line pulse generator for multiple discharge of the spiral line pulse generator to provide multiple high voltage pulses during each half cycle of lamp operating power to initiate discharge in the high pressure discharge lamp.
