The capacitor has a value of less than about 2 microfarads and permits dimming of the lamp by control of the current from the switching regulator. The switching regulator is provided with a negative feedback control arrangement, and has a simplified circuit whereby a transistor switch is turned off to a relatively ''''soft'''' state by a first control circuit and then to a ''''hard'''' turnoff state by a second control circuit. The second control circuit controls the turn on of the switching regulator. A rapid warm-up circuit is also provided which cooperates with the dimming control circuit so that the rapid warmup circuit does not interfere with the dimming circuit after the tube is in its normal operational condition.,下面是High intensity discharge mercury vapor lamp dimming system专利的具体信息内容。
