Abstract
The invention is directed to a circuit and a method for efficiently controlling the output illumination level in gas discharge lighting arrangements. Load side control is provided by a timed interval controlled impedance, serially coupled between the ballast and the lamp(s). A circulating inductor, coupled in parallel with the controlled impedance, provides a current path between the power source and the lamp(s) at least during that portion of the AC waveform where the controlled impedance is in a substantially non-conducting state.
