Abstract: A lighting arrangement is proposed which serves, in particular, to illuminate the interior of a motor vehicle. A lighting arrangement which serves, in particular, to illuminate the interior of a motor vehicle. The arrangement comprises a device in the form of a dimmer which includes a power transistor for establishing the connection between the interior lighting connected to the positive pole of a battery and ground when the door light switch is open. A control transistor which is set via a resistor arrangement activates the power transistor. The control transistor is influenced by a charging electrolyte capacitor so that the power transistor becomes highly resistant. Charging of the electrolyte capacitor therefore causes the interior lighting to be slowly extinguished.
