Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018202453A1] The invention relates to a circuit arrangement (1) for operating lamps (110), comprising a circuit that can be supplied with a voltage and pulsed by means of at least one switch (11), by which means a transformer (10) is powered, the lamps (110) being supplied with current by means of a secondary winding (L2) of the transformer (10). The supply voltage (UDC) for the transformer (10) is a rectified, non-smoothed alternating voltage, a control unit (20) being designed to adapt to at least one of the following parameters for controlling the switch (11), according to the supply voltage (UDC) for the transformer (10): the switching frequency; the pulse duty factor; and the steepness of the rising or falling edge.
