ABSTRACT:
An arrangement for starting and supplying a discharge lamp (14) equipped with preheatable electrodes (15, 16). An electric coil (13) is arranged in series with the lamp and a capacitor (17) is arranged in parallel with the lamp. A voltage of a high frequency is first applied between the ends (A, B) of the series arrangement formed by the coil (13) and the lamp (14) whereafter approximately 1 second later said frequency is reduced until a series resonant condition is obtained and thereafter still further reduced to the operating frequency of the lamp. This starts the lamp (14) with the electrodes preheated to a sufficient extent.
