Components of CFL electronic ballast 230VAC comes in via fuse (B) and choke (M) to the rectifier bridge

(A), and is smoothed on capacitor (D). (L) is supposed to be an NTC (thermistor) to limit inrush current, but is probably used only with higher power tubes. Capacitor (K) and diode (J) are part of the startup circuit. The oscillator circuit main constituents are the choke (F), serial capacitor (C), and the transistors of which only is seen (I). (H) is the feedback transformer feeding to the base of transistors. (E) is the capacitor in series with the tube's filaments, which ensures current flowing through - and heating up - the filaments while the arc has not been ignited yet. It has a PTC thermistor (G) connected in series, providing for "smoother" startup.
