A high-frequency electronic ballast for fluorescent lamps has a first inverter for controllably providing heating power to the lamp cathodes and a second inverter for controllably providing main lamp operating power. The two inverters are separately and independently controllable, thereby: i) to permit adjustment of lamp current so as to provide full or reduced light output in accordance with requirements, ii) to permit cathode heating power to be removed under conditions of providing full light output, thereby to maximize efficiency, and iii) to permit cathode heating power to be restored under conditions of reduced light output, thereby to prevent premature lamp failure.
