The invention relates to a novel operating circuit for a low-pressure discharge lamp 1 with early EOL detection via a measurement of the DC voltage between the electrodes 2, 3. Each of the opposed ends includes a generally triangular tab which deflects for ease of insertion into an aperture in a tray or pot. The access point includes a timing information device configured to generate an information response for a beacon signal associated with the SSID different from the SSID of the access point.
