A cold cathode gas discharge lamp unit and control circuit for controlling the light emission of the cold cathode gas discharge lamp. A lamp unit includes a dc power source and a control circuit for converting into a high frequency drive signal across the lamp wherein each cycle of the drive signal includes an ignition period with a signal level sufficient to initiate gas conduction, a sustaining period with a signal level sufficient to sustain gas conduction, and an off period with a signal level below the sustaining level.
