A method and apparatus are provided for fast heating cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL). Specifically, values corresponding to the actual luminance of a CCFL are compared to a desired luminance level and, if it is determined that the CCFL is operating under start-up conditions, a boost power supply is applied to the CCFL until either the CCFL outputs the desired luminance level, or a timer determines that start-up conditions no longer exist.
