The invention describes a method of driving a gas-discharge lamp (1), wherein the lamp (1) is driven at any one time using one of a number of driving schemes, and wherein the lamp (1) is driven at a nominal operating power (Pnom) or at a reduced operating power (Pdim). When the lamp is being driven at the nominal operating power (Pnom), a driving scheme switch-over occurs according to a relationship between a first target voltage (VT1) and the operating voltage of the lamp (1), and, when the lamp is being driven at the reduced operating power (Pdim), a driving scheme switch-over occurs according to a relationship between a second target voltage (VT2) and the operating voltage of the lamp (1), which second target voltage (VT2) is determined on the basis of the reduced operating power (Pdim). The invention further describes a driving unit (10) for driving a gas-discharge lamp (1) according to this method. |
