Zusammenfassung: | The invention relates to a measuring circuit for detecting the amount of deposited electrode material on the wall of a lamp vessel of a discharge lamp by measuring the power of infrared radiation within a specific wavelength range, comprising a detector for generating an electrical signal constituting a measure for the power of the infrared light in said specific wave length range. According to the invention the measuring is done in a time lapse starting after a predetermined time interval following the extinguishing of the discharge lamp. An increased accuracy of the measurement is thereby realized. |
