Title:
LIGHTING DEVICE FOR ELECTRIC DISCHARGE LAMP
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3386875
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:

PURPOSE: To provide a broad dimming range without deteriorating the life characteristic of a hot-cathode electric discharge lamp.
CONSTITUTION: Lighting and preheating inverters, 4, 10, respectively, are connected to respective power circuits, each of which includes a feedback loop 3. Part of a voltage outputted from the lighting power circuit is fed back to the preheating inverter 10. Therefore, the restricting of a lamp current results in an increase in preliminary heat and so filmanet temperature does not drop even with the lamp current greatly restricted, and a stable discharge can be achieved.
