A circuit for starting and operating a gas discharge lamp (11) comprises: a DC power supply (73), which generates a DC power supply voltage; a high voltage generator (16, 18), which generates a high DC starting voltage from the DC power supply voltage and supplies the high DC starting voltage to the gas discharge lamp (11) so as to bring about a current flow therethrough; an inductor (15), which is connected in a closed loop circuit together with the gas discharge lamp (11); a sensor (48), which is connected to the closed loop circuit for detecting the transmission of power therein; and a power switching (59, 60), which is switchable between a conducting state in which power is induced into the inductor (15) and a non-conducting state in which no power is induced into the inductor (15), and which is controlled by the sensor (48). |
