A device comprising energy saving circuitry incorporated within lighting systems of the type utilizing discharge lamps, wherein the circuitry includes at least one transformer having a primary and secondary windings oppositely wound to establish different fields of polarity. The primary winding is connectable across a supply voltage and the secondary winding is connected in series with the discharge lamps lead. A switching assembly is associated with each of the one or more transformers and is operative in a first position to connect the primary winding across the supply voltage, wherein a voltage of an opposite polarity is induced across the secondary winding. In a second operative position the one or more switch assemblies serve to disconnect the primary winding from across the supply voltage and to shunt the primary winding, so that voltage across the secondary winding is zero (v).
