A method and firmware for method of generating a digital dimming waveform for an inverter includes steps of receiving programmable parameters as input to firmware in an inverter voltage microcontroller including a soft start duration, a restrike voltage, a restrike duration, a recovery duration, a sustaining voltage, a dimming duty cycle, and an inverter frequency; and generating by firmware in the inverter voltage microcontroller a first portion of a pulse- width modulated digital switch control signal having a frequency equal to the inverter frequency and a duty cycle that varies from a first value to a second value during a time interval equal to the soft start duration.
