Lamp ballast for HID lighting
2014-08-14 14:33:42

We start to energy savings, reduced maintenance cost and quality of light. In recent years, we have seen a shift from high pressure sodium to the white light source of metal halide. The HID ballast of choice has been the constant wattage autotransformer. Generally, emphasis has been placed on reflector design to achieve higher luminaire efficiencies using these existing metal halide sources.
The game has changed. Pulse start technology is the new cornerstone in HID lighting. These new systems dramatically improve every aspect of metal halide lighting, including improved lumens per watt, lumen maintenance, longer lamp life and color stability. Whether you are engaging in new construction or a lighting retrofit, pulse start technology will give you the opportunity to improve your lighting system

.

There is no current flow through the lamp until the lamp starts. When the lamp starts initially, there is a higher current draw because the voltage in the arc
tube is low at first; the current draw increases until the lamp reaches its operating voltage range. This information about (line input) open circuit can be found
in the Ballast.If there is a momentary power outage, the lamps may be too hot to restart. This can possibly cause a line circuit breaker
to trip if there is not enough allowance for open circuit current, especially if there has been a retrofit to the same wattage controlled
current pulse start reactor gear from the old pinch style CWA. Neither CWA ballasts nor controlled current reactor ballasts should be a problem,
if the installation was planned right.
The magnetic lamp ballast system allows you to chose:
• Reduce your fixture count while still achieving same light level
• Supply more light with the same number of fixtures OR
• Reduce energy consumption
Pulse start ballast/lamp systems are the first major innovation in HID lighting in many years
