Discharge lamp lighting device

摘要

A discharge lamp lighting device has first switching means for converting AC power into DC power and second switching means for converting the DC power into a high frequency power, the first switching means being driven subsequently to a driving of the second switching means, and the device is arranged for intermittently applying a pulse voltage to a discharge lamp during its dimming lighting, whereby any secondary voltage can be effectively lowered and any flash apt to occur during the dimming lighting can be restrained.
