Abstract

A monitoring device for the orderly functioning of lamps, particularly in motor vehicles, with a circuit control element arranged in the circuit of the lamps, on which control element a control signal occurs during switching-on of the lamps, as well as with circuit components in a signal circuit, the latter being applied with the control signal. In the circuit of each lamp there is arranged a low impedance resistor, and the low impedance resistor is connected with an input of an amplifier circuit arrangement. An indicator device is connected to the output of the amplifier.
