1. A temperature compensating and output adjustable ultraviolet lamp driver for supplying an alternating current signal to the ultraviolet lamp effective to light the ultraviolet lamp, the driver comprising an oscillator driving a primary side of a transformer wherein the oscillator includes a pair of transistors configured to operate out-of-phase feeding the primary side of the transformer with (i) direct current from a first variable voltage supply circuit, and (ii) direct current from a second fixed voltage supply circuit, characterized in that the direct current from the second fixed voltage supply circuit is biased through a series of a positive temperature coefficient resistor and a primary bias resistor prior to reaching the transistors.
