- 16. An illumination device including at least one lamp, a circuit arrangement for energizing said lamp, said circuit arrangement comprising a first impulse generator for generating a series of impulses having a frequency of more than 10 Hz, a second impulse generator which generates a second series of impulses and which is switchable on and off by said first impulse generator, and means for connecting said circuit arrangement to a voltage source, and means for connecting said circuit arrangement to said at least one lamp.
- 21. A method of saving energy upon energization of an energy consumer comprising the steps of generating a first series of voltage impulses with a frequency of more than 10 Hz and a second series of voltage impulses is generated with a frequency of more than 100 Hz, which is superimposed on said first series of voltage impulses, and supplying said series of voltage impulses to an illuminating device.
