A High Pressure Sodium (HPS) Ballast is an electrical device that regulates the current and voltage for HPS lamps. It ensures proper lamp ignition and stable operation by controlling the electrical flow once the lamp is lit. These ballasts are essential for the efficient functioning of HPS lights, which are commonly used in street lighting, parking lots, and industrial settings. HPS ballasts are typically available in magnetic or electronic types, with electronic versions offering higher energy efficiency and quieter operation.
A Pulse Start Metal Halide Ballast is an electronic device used to regulate the operation of pulse start metal halide lamps. Unlike traditional metal halide ballasts, pulse start ballasts provide a higher starting voltage, which enables faster and more reliable ignition of the lamp. They also help maintain more stable lamp performance, improve light output, and extend the lifespan of the bulb. Pulse start ballasts are commonly used in commercial and industrial lighting applications like streetlights, stadiums, and warehouses.
A Standard Metal Halide Ballast is an electrical component used to regulate the current and voltage for metal halide lamps. It ensures proper ignition and stable operation of the lamp by limiting the current once the lamp is lit. These ballasts are typically used in older or standard metal halide systems and are necessary for the lamp to function safely and efficiently. They are commonly found in applications like street lighting, warehouses, and sports arenas.
