ABSTRACT:
The invention provides an ignition device for a gas discharge lamp. The device comprises a voltage multiplier which is connected to an AC mains source. A pulse generator is connected to the voltage multiplier and produces a trigger pulse when the source voltage exceeds a predetermined threshold. The output of the pulse generator is applied to a resonant network including a step-up transformer, which applies high voltage ignition pulses to the lamp. A delay circuit synchronizes the ignition pulses with the peaks of the AC mains waveform.
