<p>A method for operating a lamp is disclosed having the steps of providing an electric lamp having a pair of electrodes and an arc gap therebetween, providing a power supply for applying a voltage and current to the electric lamp, and providing a controller having means for sensing parameters and configured to control a signal to be applied by the power supply to the electric lamp. The method further includes sensing the parameters of lamp operation. The sensed parameters are compared with desired lamp parameters. The controller commands the power supply to add a current pulse to a specific portion of the pulse.</p> |
