ABSTRACT:
Lamp operating voltage levels are reduced by using a boost circuit to initiate a triggering sequence in one of two lamps connected in series. The boost circuit is connected across one of the lamps at a connector point common to the two lamps. In a preferred embodiment, trigger pulses are applied sequentially to each lamp, the boost circuit voltage contained in an associated capacitor is discharged through the first triggered lamp, causing it to begin conduction. Most of the voltage from a main storage capacitor then becomes available to break down the second lamp.
