MH Ballasts and HPS Ballasts for HID Lamps
2012-11-05 17:05:18

All HID lamps require metal halide ballasts or high pressure sodium ballasts to regulate the arc current and deliver proper voltage to the arc.

High Pressure Sodium (HPS) Ballasts Kits include the following components; HPS ballasts, Ignitor (Starter), Capacitor, mounting bracket, and wiring schematic, High pressure sodium lamps have been a staple in outdoor lighting applications for decades. Install a high pressure sodium lamp at your parking lot and in your security system or perimeter lighting. Choose from over 45 of our popular high pressure sodium ballasts.High pressure lamp ballasts for any HID fixture are easy to find, and they're the most important part of your light. A well maintained bulb will last nearly 20,000 hours, and they're the most energy efficient solution for outdoor flood lamps, and indoor gardening lamps.

Standard Probe Start Metal Halide ballasts kits include the MH ballasts and Capacitor. In MH lamps, ballasts provide the starting voltage and ignition pulses (pulse-start lamps) necessary to ignite the lamp. Probe-start MH ballasts, however, can take as long as 10 to 20 minutes to restrike (re-start) a lamp. Pulse-start MH ballasts can restrike the lamp within 2 to 8 minutes of an interruption in current, because they provide high-voltage pulses to start these lamps.Regulating lamp current and power: The ballast regulates the lamp operating current flowing through the lamp after the lamp has been started. The ballast is set to deliver relatively stable power to the lamp while regulating the lamp current despite typical line voltage fluctuations. This maximizes lamp life and ensures other performance characteristics such as color and light output.

At James Lighting, we carry lighting solutions that are both costeffective and environmentally friendly.
