Method and device for driving a metal halide lamp

A gas discharge lamp (2) is operated with an alternating current. A positive lamp current (Ip) is generated with a positive current intisity (Ip) for a positive duration ( p). A negative lamp current (IN) is genrated with a negative current intensity (IN) for a negative duration ( N). A duty cycle (...

Zusammenfassung:A gas discharge lamp (2) is operated with an alternating current. A positive lamp current (Ip) is generated with a positive current intisity (Ip) for a positive duration ( p). A negative lamp current (IN) is genrated with a negative current intensity (IN) for a negative duration ( N). A duty cycle (D= p/( p + N)) differs from 50%. A current ratio (R=Ip/IN) differs from 1.
