ABSTRACT:
An electronic ballast for reducing blackening of a high intensity discharge lamp, reducing stress on both the lamp and ballast components caused by excessive voltage and current flow and increasing the lamp's effective life. These advantages are achieved through a ballast controller which readjusts the operating frequency of the lamp during each of the three phases of lamp start-up to limit lamp voltage to a predetermined level.
