| Title: |
Method for Driving a Lamp in a Lighting System Based on a Goal Energizing Level of the Lamp and a Control Apparatus Therefor |
| Abstract: |
A method and a control apparatus for driving a lamp (14) in a lighting
system, in particular a lamp laving a fast response to a change of an
amount of energy supplied through the lamp, in which a device controller
8 is connected with the lamp (14) The device controller (8) receives data
values from a system controller (2) to change a light output level of the
lamp (14). Upon receiving a data value which is different from a

following, time interval to smoothen a transition between different light
output levels of the lamp (14).
