[Class 38 (iv)] To obtain rapid restarting of one or a number of series connected discharge lamps 2, 3 operating from a supply subject to frequent interruptions or diminutions of the supply voltage. e.g. a traction supply, the system includes an electro-magnetic relay 8 responsive to the lamp voltage and having its contacts 5, 6 included in the circuit between the filamentary electrodes of each lamp so as to restore the preheating current upon diminution or failure of or upon restoration of the normal supply, the relay having a time delay to prevent its operation for momentary diminution or failure of the supply. In one arrangement suitable for A.C. or D.C. (Fig. 1, not shown), the relay coil is connected across the series connected lamps with its normally closed contacts included in each preheating circuit between the lamp electrodes and in series with a single thermal starting switch included in one preheating circuit so that upon the opening of the thermal switch to start one lamp the relay operates to open its contacts to start the remaining lamps and permit the thermal switch to reclose whilst the relay remains energized during normal operation of the lamps. In another arrangement, as shown, and suitable for a D.C. supply, the thermal switch is dispensed with and the relay 8 which is insufficiently energized whilst the lamps 2, 3 are operating controls normally open contacts 5, 6 included in the preheating circuits. To minimize sparking at the contacts due to the delay operation, relay 8 controls contacts 10 to energize a relay coil 9 controlling the normally open contacts 5, 6 included in the preheating circuit. To prevent repeated operation due to a lamp failure a thermal device may be connected with its heater in series with contacts 5 or 6, and its contacts arranged to short contacts 10 after a number of starting operations. A condenser 7 shunted across the relay coil 8 may provide the delayed operation.
