A ballast includes an inverter for providing an AC voltage to a discharge lamp. As the lamp approaches end-of-life a DC voltage component develops across the lamp. The ballast includes circuitry for monitoring the condition of each of the cathodes by measuring this DC voltage component. After a predetermined increase in this DC voltage component, the inverter is disabled in order to prevent excessive heating of the cathodes.
