Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Betriebsverfahren für eine Lichtanlage und eine Lichtanlage, bei denen ein Bereitschaftsbefehl vorgesehen ist, auf den hin ein Vorschaltgerät eine Entladungslampe in der Weise betreibt, dass es die Elektroden bei nicht brennender Entladungslampe weiterheizt, so dass ein Steuergerät durch einen Einschaltbefehl die Entladungslampe ohne Verzögerung durch eine Vorheizzeit wieder zünden kann.

Figure imgaf001
The invention relates to an operating method for a lighting system and a lighting system, in which a standby command is provided, towards which a ballast operates a discharge lamp in such a way that it continues to heat the electrodes when the discharge lamp is not burning, so that a control unit by a switch-on the discharge lamp can ignite again without delay by a preheating time.
