Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a circuit arrangement suitable for operating a low-pressure mercury discharge lamp by means of a high-frequency current, comprising circuitry (I) for generating the high-frequency current from a supply voltage, and a modulator (II) for the substantially square-wave modulation of the amplitude of the high-frequency current with a modulation frequency f. According to the invention, the circuit arrangement is further provided with circuitry (V) for limiting an amplitude of a re-ignition voltage across the low-pressure mercury discharge lamp to a voltage Vi. It is achieved by this that the interference with infrared systems caused by a lamp operated on the circuit arrangement is substantially fully suppressed.
