  • Abstract
    A new model has been developed which describes the nonlinear resistance of fluorescent lamps operating at high-frequency. A parabolic fit has been performed on actual lamp data which allows for simplified solutions to nonlinear differential equations describing various fluorescent lamp output stages. A lamp waveform analysis has also been done using the model which shows an elliptical lamp current to be optimal.
