Patent abstract
A ballast having a dimming device for a low-pressure discharge lamp. For brightness control, the DC component of the periodically modulated envelope of the lamp current is varied. In this case, the current does not fall below predetermined minimum values for the lamp current. Phases with a high lamp current are characterized by a steep rising edge, compared with a flatter falling edge.
