  • Starting circuit for gaseous discharge lamps
    Patent number: 4209730
    Abstract: A starting circuit suitable for sodium vapor street lamps is disclosed. The circuit includes a voltage doubler which periodically fires pulses through the lamp ballast. The pulsing is controlled by a neon lamp connected to a gate anode of a triac. When the triac fires the capacitors which form the voltage doubler are shorted across to produce the starting pulse.
