A fluorescent lamp ( 2 ), in particular a backlight lamp of a display device, is supplied with an alternating voltage, a frequency and an amplitude of which being greater during ignition than during normal operation of the lamp. The voltage (V) across the lamp and the current (I) through the lamp are measured to provide a measured voltage value and a measured real lamp current value. From the alternating voltage there is derived a voltage (V 2 ). The measured voltage value is multiplied by the sum of the measured real lamp current value and the derived voltage. The multiplication result (P=V*(I+V 2 )) is compared with a reference value (Ref), which results in a difference or error value. The error value is used to control the frequency and the amplitude of the alternating voltage (V), such that the error value is minimized.
