ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE To control the color temperature of a sodium high-pressure discharge lamp, preferably having a sodium and xenon fill, which may also include mercury, without essentially affecting the color rendition index of the emitted light, or the light flux or intensity of light radiation emitted, the lamp is operated under pulsed conditions, in which the instantaneous pulse power of recurring power pulses, separated by a holding phase to prevent extinction of the lamp, is controlled. Preferably, the overall energy of any one of said power pulses and the intervening holding pulse is maintained essentially constant, for example by varying the frequency of sub-pulses or oscillations of which the sequential power pulses are constituted. A frequency and power controllable oscillator (1) is connected to the lamp (3) through a series LC network to effect such control, thereby permitting adjustment of color temperature and matching of the light output to selective color reflectivity of illuminated objects.
