To provide enhanced starting voltages for fluorescent lamps operating, for example, from 110 V power networks through a rectifier, and in which a high-frequency oscillatory circuit is used which includes a ring core transformer (TR1, TR2, TR3) operated under saturation conditions, and controlling switching transistors (T1, T2), which have emitter-resistors (R4, R5) connected thereto to stabilize the operation of the circuit and of the transistors, at least one diode (FIG. 4: D4, D5) is connected in parallel to at least one of the emitter resistors; for some circuits (FIGS. 2-4) a diode, or two diodes (D6, D7, D8, D9) can form the emitter-resistors or resistors. |
