When your fluorescent light flickers or makes a loud and annoying hum, a degrading ballast could be the cause. Replacing a ...

Available in 20-, 35- and 40-watt versions, these metal halide lamps are ideal for retail stores, restaurants, hotels and for commercial use because of the energy-saving potential. Ballasts for use ...

EC&M selected the F28T8 UltraMax System by GE Lighting as the Product of the Week. The 28W fluorescent lamp and ballast system includes multi-voltage control and anti-striation protection. The F28T8 ...

Many people often make the mistake of choosing electronic ballasts with the lowest input watts rating for fluorescent lighting systems. This may result in increased energy savings, but it can also ...

With a new ballast and new fluorescent tubes in your fixture, it will be like having a brand new light. Incidentally, fluorescent tubes contain a small amount of mercury, so I contacted the City ...

Compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) are replacing incandescent light bulbs at a rapid rate due to their tremendous energy savings and longer lifetime. Additional energy savings can be achieved by dimming ...

This can happen with any type of light bulb, but is most commonly associated with fluorescents. With fluorescent lights, the ballast that controls the flow of electricity to the bulb can also ...

Low-voltage halogen lamps are driven by electronic transformers; the classic magnetic ballast for fluorescent lighting is being replaced by the electronic ballast and the new high-power, high-efficacy ...

STMicroelectronics L6585 integrates a power factor corrector with a half-bridge controller and all the relevant drivers and logic for an electronic fluorescent lamp ballast. STMicroelectronics ...

An electronic ballast, in simplistic terms ... powers a half bridge to provide frequency-controlled power for a fluorescent lamp. Typically, the electronics for this solution are implemented ...

The assembly can’t actually be placed in current fluorescent lamp ballasts and must use a 12 volt 1 amp power supply, but perhaps future versions will correct for this. Another problem is the ...
