A low-pressure gas discharge lamp of the fluorescent lamp type.

摘要

A fluorescent lamp intended as a replacement for incandescent bulbs in existing lamp fittings has all of its requisite series impedance means incorporated in the lamp base (1) and in a housing (2) formed on the base. Means for controlling ignition and operation of the lamp are collected in an integrated circuit (9). These means coact with a choke (8) and capacitor (16) mounted on a circuit card (5) and forming a resonance circuit. The circuit card (5) also supports conventional means (10) for rectifying and smoothing alternating voltage supplied to the lamp. <IMAGE>
