ABSTRACT:
An emergency lighting system includes a two-level switching transistor inverter circuit for starting and operating a fluorescent lamp from a battery upon failure of line voltage. One of the switching transistors of the two transistor inverter is arranged for connection first to a tap, then to one of the feed-in terminals of an output transformer coupled with the lamp. A timing controller effects this switching thereby automatically to provide, first, a high power level for starting the lamp, and then, a second lower power level for operating the lamp after starting.
