Abstract
A plug-in starting aid for generating high voltage pulses in the ballast circuit of high intensity discharge lamp comprises interconnected electrical components mounted in a frame of insulating material. The frame has three terminals projecting out one side and engageable in the cooperating terminals of a connector block in which the starting in may be plugged in. The terminals are also engageable by standard mating wire terminals when the starting aid is used without a connector block.
