An electronic ballast circuit for powering a plurality of fluorescent lamps or the like from an unsmoothed DC voltage source includes a sine wave converter operatively connected to receive said DC voltage, for generating a high frequency alternating voltage of sufficient amplitude to power said lamps. The converter comprises a tank circuit and two push-pull transistors connected thereto and a current source capacitively coupled to said tank circuit for providing base drive alternately to each transistor. A lamp filament heater current cancellation circuit reduces power drain once the lamps have turned on.
