ABSTRACT:
A self-adjusting ballast system for a high intensity discharge lamp. A lightweight, inexpensive and efficient ballast controls the strike and warmup stages of the high intensity discharge lamp, in particular high wattage lamps, through direct sensing of the radiant energy or heat output of the lamp itself. A current controller corrects for current imbalance in the alternating current lamp circuit due to bulb rectification or magnetic imbalance in the inverter transformer system.
