Abstract
Apparatus for use with a fluorescent light dimming circuit to delay the application of power to the lamp for a first time period sufficient to allow the electronic components to stabilize and thereafter to delay any dimming signal to the lamp and, instead, apply full power to the lamp for a time period sufficient to allow the filament of the lamp to warm up.
