The invention relates to a method for igniting and starting high-pressure discharge lamps, wherein a transition voltage is applied to the lamp for a prescribed time of a burst, said transition voltage being superimposed by ignition pulses such that the voltage of the ignition pulses and the transition voltage add up, and a pause is provided between two bursts, the igniting pulses changing from burst to burst or within a burst from the positive half-wave of the transition voltage to the negative half-wave of the transition voltage, and vice versa. |
