A dimmer for fluorescent lights utilizes a standard A.C. phase control at normal line A.C. frequencies to control the line power to the standard fluorescent light ballast and thereby control the illumination level of the light. During the "off" time of the A.C. line signal, a high frequency signal is applied to the ballast which supplies additional power through the ballast to the filament of the light but is substantially blocked by the ballast from the discharge portion of the light so does not substantially affect the illuminating output of the light.
