A sinusoidal voltage source in series with a fluorescent, mercury vapor, sodium vapor device, etc. is pulsed at a given pulse repetition rate with the pulse having a given conduction time. Two or more tubes can sequentially conduct pulses with the current input being a continuous sinusoid. A particular pulsing circuit contains a modified pulse-forming network consisting of one or more stages of a closed series connection of a choke and two capacitors. The chokes of each stage are connected in series. The modified pulse-forming network is used as a frequency converter per se, as a d-c to a-c converter, or specifically is in parallel with a fluorescent tube load.
