Abstract: An electronic supply system for fluorescent tubes with electrodes includes two MOS power transistors connected in series and, connected to a common point between those transistors, a series circuit including a primary winding of a transformer, of which two secondary windings control the transistors, a lighting unit or units and a capacitor 10. The capacitor is connected to a supply means output terminal opposite a secondary supply means output terminal where one of the transistors, which transistor is driven by a diac, is connected.
