1.3  Electronic Control Gear 
Since the early seventies Electronic Control Gear have been used in 
computers and consumer electronics. As this technology offers substantial 
advantages, it was only natural to use it also for lighting purposes. Linear 
and compact fluorescent lamps must be operated with ballasts, as the 
process of gas discharge requires well defined currents and voltages. The
