  • the operating device may have at least one temperature sensor. This one preferably takes one Measurement, which leads to at least a rough determination of the temperature at the at least one gas discharge lamp, for example, with an inaccuracy of +/- 20 ° C.
  • Fig. 1 shows a current-voltage diagram with characteristics of a gas discharge lamp at different outdoor temperatures, more precisely at 22 ° C, at 10 ° C and at -15 ° C. Under ambient temperature is the ambient temperature of the gas discharge lamp understood. 22 ° C is about the usual temperature in a room dar. 10 ° C and -15 ° C, however, are temperatures that can occur when used outdoors.
  • Fig.1 can be seen that for current values I> I S, the voltage decreases with increasing current. In this area, the characteristics are therefore decreasing.
  • the voltage is at very low temperatures, for example at -15 ° C lower than at higher, such as 10 ° C.
  • Dimming of the gas discharge lamp via an adjustment of the lamp current. For a low dimming level so the lamp current is reduced, increased for a high lamp current. This means that a low dimming level on a characteristic of Fig.1 further to the left, a higher one to the right.
  • an inadmissibly high lamp burning voltage can now be avoided by increasing the dimming level.
  • the operating point P A is also pushed further to the right on a characteristic curve.
  • an operating point can thereby reach an impermissible range by setting the dimming to a level that is too low, in particular at low outside temperatures.
  • an operating point it is also possible for an operating point to fall within an inadmissible range due to the outside temperature dropping while the dimming level remains constant.
  • the maximum allowable lamp voltage can be a constant in the simplest embodiment, ie a horizontal straight line from the diagram Fig.1 , for example at 300V.
  • this threshold is active only in the region I ⁇ I S and in the region of the point P S (I S , U S ), ie only in this region Area is limiting. Alternatively, however, this threshold can also apply to all current values, ie to be independent of the current value.
  • Fig. 2 shows, another lower limit characteristic G '' restrict a minimum allowable lamp voltage to a predetermined value.
  • the limit characteristics G 'and G “have a shape which is adapted to the shape of the lamp characteristic.
  • these are preferably designed so that a characteristic curve U (I) of a gas discharge lamp at room temperature is not limited by these.
  • a possible example of a conceivable embodiment is the characteristic G out Fig. 3 for the ranges I ⁇ I S for G 'and I> I S for G''.
  • the method has at least in the region of the intersection point P S two limit characteristic curves G 'and G ", since the critical point can shift.
  • the limit characteristic G ' represents an upper threshold. This is located preferably above the lamp characteristic at room temperature.
  • a temperature measurement is preferably carried out in the method according to the invention. However, this only has to determine whether the outside temperature is very high or very low.
  • the limit characteristic G It is thus possible to make the activation of the lower limit, ie the limit characteristic G ", flexible. At very high temperatures, the limit should be disabled, while being active at very low temperatures. Due to the fact that the burning voltage is constant over a wide range (0 ° C - + 40 ° C) at high dimming levels, the accuracy of the temperature measurement need not be high. If, for example, an inaccuracy of the measurement of + -20 ° C is given and now the threshold is set to 20 ° C, the result is a range of 0 ° C to 40 ° C by the possibility of activating the lower threshold. Since there is no response in this range, the method only restricts the adjustable dimming levels below 0 ° C. If, on the other hand, one had limited the mechanism of the temperature-dependent dimming level, then one would possibly restrict the dimming range in the normal temperature range undesirably.
  • a measurement as a rough estimate can also be made in the area of the operating device, for example in the area of the control circuit.
  • the maximum permissible lamp voltage is a current-dependent limit characteristic G (I), in Figure 3 marked as "limit".
  • G (I) is as in Figure 3 shown, a first rising and then falling again with increasing current value curve. This takes into account the fact that at normal room temperatures, for example at 22 ° C, the lamp burning voltage has exactly this course, ie starting from an extremely low dimming level first rises a little, then drop again, for example in a range of 5% dimming level.
  • the limit characteristic is thus an adaptive threshold as a function of the current with consideration of the lamp characteristic.
  • the limit characteristic may be formed as a threshold using a lamp voltage signal weighted with the lamp characteristic at nominal ambient temperature.
  • the limit characteristic is preferably a continuous function which always leads to the same reaction (independent of the current).
  • a defined range between reaction and reserve for the reaction is constant over the entire dimming range.
  • the resulting limit characteristic G (I) can be multiplied by a defined negative slope function. This achieves an ever-decreasing function for all currents and temperatures. By adjusting the slope and the reference value, the minimum, temperature-dependent lamp current can now be set.
  • the method may also include the lamp impedance as a measure.
  • the threshold formed by the limit characteristic represents an upper threshold in a range I A ⁇ I S. In a range I A > I S , it represents a lower threshold.
  • the shape of the limit characteristic G ensures that the adjustable dimming range is not restricted at standard room temperatures, such as 22 ° C. It is thus raised for any adjustable dimming level by the process of the set dimming level.
  • the characteristic curve for 10 ° C is too high for small current values above the limit characteristic G and thus too high. At 10 ° C, dimming levels below the critical current value are not allowed.
  • the characteristic for -15 ° C is too high for small current values I A ⁇ I S above the limit characteristic G and thus too high. For at least some current values I A > I S , the characteristic below the limit characteristic G is unduly low. At -15 ° C, therefore, no dimming levels below preferably 0.3A are allowed.
  • a temperature measurement is again carried out in the method according to the invention. So it is possible to make the activation of the lower limit, ie the limit characteristic G for I A > I S , flexible. At very high temperatures, the limit should be disabled, while being active at very low temperatures.
  • FIG. 4 shows a flowchart of a first method according to the invention.
  • a set dimming level is read in step S102.
  • the current value I A corresponding to the dimming level is detected. This is set in S104 on the gas discharge lamp. This results in the operating point P A (I A , U A ) at the gas discharge lamp.
  • S105 it is determined whether the set current value I A is larger or smaller than the current value I S at which the lamp characteristics intersect for different temperatures.
  • the lamp burning voltage U (I A ) is impermissibly small, ie, whether it is smaller than the limit value G (I A ) for this current. If the latter is not true, obviously there is no particularly high or very low outside temperature and the process can be terminated. However, if the lamp burning voltage U (I A ) is impermissibly small, then S107 determined whether the outside temperature is high, for example, around 40 ° C. If this is correct, the procedure can also be terminated. However, if this is not true, it is therefore an extremely low outside temperature. In this case, the dimming level is raised. This is done in order to increase the low light output caused by the cold, which is no longer in correct proportion to the set dimming level. It is freely selectable by how much the dimming level is raised, but preferably only by a small step.
  • the lamp burn voltage U (I A ) is unacceptably high, ie, whether it is greater than the limit value G (I A ) for this current. If the latter is not true, obviously there is no particularly low outside temperature and the process can be terminated. However, if the lamp burning voltage U (I A ) is unacceptably high, it is therefore a low outside temperature. In this case, the dimming level is raised. This is done in order to stabilize the unstable operating point caused by the cold. In addition, an unacceptably high lamp voltage is thereby avoided. Preferably, the dimming level is again increased by only a small step.
  • step S109 is jumped back to the beginning. So is constantly monitored and regulated by. In addition, it is possible that the set operating point, if it is in an impermissible range, gradually approaches an allowable range.
  • a second method according to the invention is explained. This offers a further possibility which can be used in addition to or as an alternative to the above method.
  • the gradients of the lamp voltage are determined via the lamp current.
  • Fig. 5 shows a current-voltage diagram with characteristics of a gas discharge lamp at different outside temperatures. Above all, the two characteristics at 10 ° C and at -15 ° C are of interest.
  • the second method now provides for determining the gradient characteristics, ie the first derivative, of at least part of the characteristic curves. These are in Figure 6 shown. It can be seen that the slope of the low current characteristic curves assumes negative values at low temperatures. A characteristic curve at room temperature, on the other hand, has for small current values a positive to slightly negative slope, or an absolute low slope.
