Zusammenfassung:The invention is concerned with a circuit arrangement for operating a high pressure discharge lamp comprising input terminals (K1, K2) for connection to a supply voltage source, output terminals for connecting the high pressure discharge lamp, and means, coupled to the input terminals, for supplying an alternating lamp current to the high pressure discharge lamp. The lamp current has per period a mean value Im. According to the invention the lamp current in each period at its start is lowered with respect to the mean value Im so as to allow for stable diffuse attachment on the cathodic phase electrode. The circuit arrangement is in particular suited for operating a lamp in an optical projection system
