Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a filament heating circuit for the cathodes of a low-pressure discharge lamp, comprising a filament heating current capacitor (11) connected in series with electrodes (6, 7) of a lamp (3) in parallel with a lamp. In the filament heating current circuit there is connected one or more components (12, 13), which constitute a resonance circuit or affects on the operation of the main resonance circuit and are dimensioned to change the filament heating current passing through the electrodes (6, 7) as the frequency of a lamp current changes. <IMAGE>
