Discharge lamp energization circuit to operate a discharge lamp 1 over two electronic switches 10, 11, for example high-voltage, high-current switching transistors, which alternately apply a d-c voltage connected across two capacitors 4, 5, in opposite polarity, to the lamp circuit. The capacitors have the same value, and the lamp circuit includes a serially connected inductance. The electronic switching transistors are supplied from a frequency constant square-wave generator 16, at frequency high with respect to power line frequency, for example within the audio or supersonic range, e.g. 7.5 kHz. A separate ignition or starting circuit may be provided or the series inductance 2 and a capacitor 20 connected in parallel with the lamp may form a series resonance circuit tuned to a low odd harmonic (3, 5 7) of the lamp operating frequency. |
