Abstract
A circuit arrangement for operating a high-pressure sodium lamp is provided with two lamp connection points. The circuit arrangement comprises a controlled main switching element, a control electrode of which is connected to a control circuit. The circuit arrangement is provided with a measuring impedance in series with a lamp connection point and with a measuring impedance parallel to the lamp connection points. The measuring impedances are connected to the control circuit. A combination of a resistor and a capacitor is further connected to the control circuit and this combination is connected in series with one lamp connection point.
