 Magnetic ballasts are also called inductive or electromagnetic ballasts. Core and coil Ballasts us an aluminum coil wrapped around an iron core to generate and regulate voltage. Since 1981 congress has regulated the efficacy factors of magnetic ballasts (making magnetic ballasts much more efficient). Despite regulations determining efficiency of magnetic ballast, they are still considered the least efficient types of fluorescent ballasts. Although magnetic ballasts are still very common, over the next several years manufactures will begin to phase out magnetic ballasts. Magnetic ballasts are susceptible to humming and flickering. Magnetic ballasts operate T12 lamps (including bi-pin, single-pin, and high output), some T8 lamps, and 2-pin compact fluorescent lamps. Magnetic ballasts are available in 1 and 2 lamp configurations.

fluorescent lights added magnetic ballasts to manage the flow of electrical current. The ballast provides the starting burst of current into the fluorescent bulb that allows it to light up. After the energizing of the bulb, the ballast continues to balance the current cycles for the bulb's needs, making sure it does not get too much or too little current. Ballasts have ratings for different levees of voltage depending on the type of fluorescent bulb, but most ballasts work with most bulbs. One primary difference is bulbs that have electronic instead of magnetic ballasts. The magnetic ballast uses an iron, magnetized core to manage electrical current, while the electronic version uses an inverter/switcher to manage the current through smaller circuits.

T8; Fitted with a 25mm fluorescent tube this ‘batten’ type of fitting is available in a choice of wattages and lengths for single or twin lamps. High frequency and switch start fittings have modern click-in lamp holders for easy installation and are compatible with a wide range of control gear options. Easy to maintain and install this is a general purpose product. Applications for T8 fittings are varied; from retail stores, offices, schools and garages to specialist.
