Abstract:
From a start of a lighting until a predetermined time period passes, a high-pressure discharge lamp is supplied with a constant current (Ib) until the lamp power reaches a predetermined wattage (Plow). When the lamp power reaches the wattage (Plow), current is supplied to maintain the lamp power at the wattage (Plow). After another predetermined time period passes, current is supplied to maintain the lamp power at a rated lamp wattage (Pr). While this lamp power is being maintained, the size of the lamp current is limited to a current limit (Ia). The current (Ib) and the wattage (Plow) satisfy a relationship Ia·0.7≦Ib≦Ia·0.9 and Pr·0.5 Plow≦Pr·0.9 to accelerate an initial building of luminous flux while reducing drainage to the electrodes.
