<p>A ballast system for at least one dimmable fluorescent lamp includes a ballast inverter for driving the fluorescent lamp to provide light output and a parallel impedance for coupling across the fluorescent lamp for providing an alternative path for diverting sufficient dc current to avoid developing striated light ouput as the light output is dimmed. The parallel impedance may be a resistor connected in series with a diode. For multiple lamp systems, the parallel impedance may be connected across one or more of the lamps.</p> |
