Claim Text:
1. A lighting assembly including an electronic driver circuit and a discharge lamp connected to said driver circuit, where said discharge lamp includes a discharge vessel where two electrodes are provided to project within said discharge vessel, where said discharge vessel has a maximum inner dimension (ID), measured in a perpendicular central plane between said electrodes, of less than 3 mm, where said discharge vessel encloses a filling comprising at least a rare gas and a metal halide composition, where said metal halide composition is provided in an amount per volume of the discharge vessel of less than 13.2 μg/μl, and where said driver circuit -is disposed to deliver electrical energy to said discharge lamp with a steady-state average power of 20-30 W, where said electrical energy is supplied as an alternating current (I pulses occurring within each cycle of said alternating current(I where said pulses have a center located in a time interval of 20% of a half cycle time after a polarity change of said alternating current, where during said pulses a current (I
