electronic ballast

By that time, large companies were already selling their own electronic ballasts.

The recent development of the electronic ballast switches on a new era in lighting technology.

These and almost all new fluorescent lamps are to be operated at electronic ballasts only.

Philips cannot improve on the price, particularly now that the lamp is available with an electronic ballast.

The problems are not observed with electronic ballasts.

This is used with electronic ballasts shown below.

Hum is eliminated in lamps with a high-frequency electronic ballast.

An electronic ballast can be smaller and lighter than a comparably-rated magnetic one.

Simple electronic ballasts may also have low power factor due to their rectifier input stage.

Electronic ballasts typically work in rapid start or instant start mode.

Electronic ballasts should be designed to shut down the tube when the emission mix runs out as described above.

Application of electronic ballasts is growing in popularity.

Electronic ballasts include the igniter circuit in one package.

Fluorescent lamps on modern electronic ballasts will use approximately the same power and give the same light.

They are usually cheaper than electronic ballasts.

T5 fluorescent is the first linear lamp type to be served only by electronic ballasts.

Electronic ballasts were at one time more expensive than magnetic ballasts, but now the price is about the same.

More complex electronic ballasts use programmed start.

Modern electronic ballast designs detect cycling and give up attempting to start the lamp after a few cycles.

Since they use a higher cycle rate, you don't generally notice a flicker or humming noise coming from an electronic ballast.

The ballast dissipates some heat; electronic ballasts may be around 90% efficient.

Operating frequencies of electronic ballasts are selected to avoid interference with infrared remote controls.

Electronic ballasts are lighter and more compact.

Electronic ballasts are now commonplace, introduced primarily by a newcomer to the field, Motorola Inc.

Magnetic ballasts are simple devices compared to electronic ballasts.
