1.3 Electronic Control Gear
Since the early seventies Electronic Control Gear have been used in
computers and consumer electronics. As this technology offers substantial
advantages, it was only natural to use it also for lighting purposes. Linear
and compact fluorescent lamps must be operated with ballasts, as the
process of gas discharge requires well defined currents and voltages. The
