ABSTRACT:
To provide for automatic disconnect upon failure of a filament of one (E2) f the electrodes of a fluorescent lamp, an output terminal (P1) of a power rectifier is connected through the filament to a supply terminal (P3) of a push-pull frequency generator formed by two transistors (T1, T2). The fluorescent lamp (LP) has its other electrode (E1) connected to a common terminal between two transistors (T1, T2) of the high-frequency generator. A series resonance circuit (L1, C6, C8) is capacitor-coupled (C7) to the lamp. Upon failure of the filament of the first electrode (E2), or removal of the lamp from its lamp sockets, power supply to the transistor oscillator or frequency generator circuit is interrupted, so that the oscillator is deenergized; upon insertion of an operative lamp in the lamp circuit, the circuit is closed so that the fluorescent lamp is automatically started by the push-pull oscillator (3) formed by the two transistors (T1, T2) and associated circuitry.
