ABSTRACT:
A ballast circuit for coupling a lamp to an AC power source and having in series between the source and lamp a non-dissipative current limiting capacitor feeding a rectifier, the output of the rectifier being connected to a smoothing filter. The ballast lends itself particularly to use in connection with a dimmer control, and permits the use of a secondary path or bypass around the dimmer control through another capacitor feeding a rectifier formed as a diode bridge, thereby providing a minimum current level path to the lamp.
