Low wattage ballast boosts lamp life
April 1st 2008

Venture Lighting's new low wattage Ventronic electronic ballast is for use with 20 to 150W lamps. Suitable for use with high pressure sodium and metal halide light sources, it has universal lamp compatibility enabling it to operate existing lamps of all brands.

It is silent in operation and 'kind' to electrodes so that switching frequency does not affect lamp life or cause arc tube blackening.The result is longer lamp life and greater lumen maintenance.

Improved lumen maintenance is also achieved as the optimum electrode temperature is reached quickly, with a typical warm up time of 30 to 40sec.

Conformal coated to make it suitable for exterior applications, the electronic ballast can be mounted remotely at up to 25m.

Lamp flicker is said to be eliminated.
