Abstract

Protection device for electrical incandescent lamps provided with elements which upon switching on electric voltage limit the current strength during a switching-on interval. The device further includes a control unit with a controllable current valve (10) and timing means (19, 20) for the control of the current through the lamp upon switching-on so that a delayed increase of current is obtained from zero to a chosen operating current over a predetermined time interval.
