ABSTRACT:
A discharge lamp firing apparatus is disclosed which includes providing only the necessary firing voltage to the lamp prior to the firing thereof. As such, the surrounding system is not subjected to transients caused by conventional mechanisms which suddenly switch an extremely high voltage across the lamp. As a result, the present apparatus protects the associated circuitry as well as prevents needless overvoltage conditions to the lamp.
