Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1722610A1] The method involves heating of the filament (3,3') with a defined current simultaneously during the measurement of a parameter which directly or indirectly displays the temperature of the filament. Heat the filament with the second defined filament current different from the first filament current simultaneously with the measurement of the parameter. Which directly or indirectly display the temperature of the filament. Calculate the difference of temperature variation by heating with first and second filament current as parameters for the status of the filament. Independent claims are also included for the following: (A) Computer program product; and (B) Operating device for a lamp.
