Tungsten-filament incandescent lamps exhibit very-high positive temperature coefficient resistance with cold filament resistance being approximately filament resistance. When incandescent lamp initially turned cold filament minimum resistance will normally allow peak current. Within current falls approximately current. This high lamp turn-ON current (commonly called "in-rush" current), contribute poor lamp reliability destroy semiconductor lamp drivers. Even active part device output survive short-duration peak current, internal bonding wires "fuse" open. High-current drivers paralleled drivers, rated handle peak inrush current, prove cost prohibitive. simple methods shown here controlling lamp in-rush current standard power driver applications. Warming resistors (Figure protect both driver lamp preheating lamp between cold values. general recommendation provide warming current rated operating current. This will reduce in-rush current approximately Depending amount warming current, lamp "glow" might visible under low-light conditions. This method also provides reduced filament breakage vibration adds significant power consumption when lamp OFF. Alternatively, inexpensive current-limiting resistor (Figure used protect lamp driver, which will dissipate only small amount power when lamp minimum resistor value easily calculated VCE(sat) where rated lamp current rated peak driver current supply voltage VCE(sat) driver saturation voltage rated peak current rated lamp voltage

Lamps also efficiently driven current-limited power drivers without need warming current-limiting resistors. These current-limited drivers listed below. With these drivers, during turn-ON, high in-rush current sensed internal low-value resistor and/or thermal-gradient sensing circuit.
