About 5000 volts.
Additional Explanation of this answer
While the "Striking Voltage" of the Bulb may be 5,000 + volts the bulb actually operates on much less. More like 120V or 200V. If you continued using 5,000 V the bulb would rapidly burn itself out.
The striking voltage is much like a Florescent bulb. The higher voltage is to cause a spark between the gaps or electrodes to ignite the gasses within the bulb regardless of Florescent , High Pressure Mercury or any similar bulb, then the voltage lowers to keep the bulb lit. This is exactly the reason they need a Ballast, Starter or similar device to start the bulb
