Abstract

The Lamp (La) is connected in series with first reactive impedances (C1, . To generate pulses, one or more second reactive impedances (C3, L3; C3-L2) are located as energy storage elements in series with one or more switch elements (S3, VTh1, VD1) to at least one of the first reactive impedances (C1, L1) and also in series with the high-pressure gas discharge lamp.
