The use of our novel electronic ballast for discharging lamps with high power has many advantages to developers and users. The new electronic universal ballast for high-pressure sodium (HPS) or hot iron discharge lamps (HID) from e-ballast is an innovation in lighting engineering. - It is possible to use discharging bulbs wit 250, 400 and 600 watt with one universal ballast.
- Every power class has 16 different modes (switch 0-F) for the optimal regulation of light output and energy saving.
- Up to now it is the only ballast worldwide which is usable with multiple bulbs and wattages.
- The e-ballast is an 6in1 ballast!
- The efficiency of our new ballast is much higher as from modern magnetic ballasts or tested electronic ballasts from competitors.
- Even in comparison with the latest conventional ballasts there is a saving of energy of 5-10% with equal light output. Versus old magnetic ballasts a saving up to 30% is measurable.
- With the modified energy management the negative effects to the electricity network are less than by using magnetic ballasts. Current peaks at the turn-on procedure are reduced and the contacts of switch- and control gears are not so heavily used.
- Another advantage is the reduced weight of the electronic ballasts. The weight is only 10-20 % of an magnetic ballast. The installation of lighting fixtures will be much easier and the structure of buildings can be designed for less bearing load.
- The gentle operation of the bulb - in particular until ignition - extends the average durability and the preservation of the luminous flux. This usually reduces the maintenance work by 50%.
- The idle current is fully compensated and additional capacitors are not needed. Discharging units for lamps with power cord are unnecessary.
