Abstract

Bei einem Verfahren zur Steuerung der Helligkeit einer Gasentladungslampe (LA), die Bestandteil eines als Last einer Vollbrückenschaltung geschalteten Resonanzkreises (L, C) ist, wird abwechselnd jeweils eine Brückendiagonale eingeschaltet und die andere Brückendiagonale der Vollbrücke ausgeschaltet. Die Gasentladungslampe (LA) wird während der Einschaltzeit einer Brückendiagonalen in einem ersten Betriebsmodus bei niedriger Lampenhelligkeit mit einer geregelten Gleichspannung und in einem zweiten Betriebsmodus bei hoher Lampenhelligkeit mit einer in ihrem Tastverhältnis veränderbaren Wechselspannung betrieben.
