Ballast a device required by electric discharge light sources such as fluorescent or hid lamps to regulate voltage and current supplied to the lamp during start and throughout operation. There are various lighting ballast types available on the market. These range from relatively simple parts of a light s inner power loop acting solely as a basic resistor capacitor or inductor when wired in line to a far more complex piece of the circuitry that s able to control adjustable voltage and current giving some hid and.

Ballast definition any heavy material carried temporarily or permanently in a vessel to provide desired draft and stability. Ballast start type is the method used to deliver input voltage to a ballast and ignite the light bulbs powered by the ballast. Probe start ballasts use electrodes to ignite light bulbs.

Ballast factor bf the ratio of the light output of a fluorescent lamp or lamps operated on a ballast to the light output of the lamp s operated on a standard reference ballast. Different types of lighting ballasts available. These ballasts are available in either instant start or programmed start ignition for extended lamp life in frequent switching applications such as those where occupancy sensors or motion detectors are being used. 29 list list price 35 63 35.
