A circuit arrangement suitable for igniting a high-pressure discharge lamp and provided with input terminals for connection to a voltage source. A pulse generating circuit includes a switch, a primary winding of a pulse transformer, and a non-linear capacitor which shunts the switch and the primary winding. An electrical connection is provided between a secondary winding of the pulse transformer and lamp connection terminals. The non-linear characteristic of the capacitor results in a more reproducible amplitude of the generated ignition voltage pulse.
