Lighting fixtures with electronic ballasts are more profitable

The main advantages of lighting fixtures with electronic ballasts (electronic ballasts) over conventional electromagnetic ones:

1. Energy saving 22%
2. No stroboscopic effect, no light ripples
3. Greater light efficiency
4. Power factor > 0,95
5. Instant start without flickering
6. No flashing if the lamp burns out (the lamp will turn on automatically turn off)
7. Lower operating temperature
8. Quiet work

Lighting systems equipped with electronic ballasts (instead of traditional) devices consisting of electromagnetic chokes, starters, additional starters and capacitors for power factor correction) ensure the operation of fluorescent lamps at high-frequency voltage and current (20-25 kHz).

The lamp is ignited by applying a shock voltage inside the lamp. V Unlike the traditional power supply, since no phase correction is required as power factor > 0.95.

Electronic ballasts have several advantages over traditional ballasts:

1. Fluorescent lamps work for a high frequency, which has a positive effect on the light efficiency (10% more than when using electromagnetic ballasts) and reduces energy consumption compared to the consumption of a power supply with a frequency of 50 Hz at the same light flux.
2. Saving money when changing the lamp: significantly longer service life due to low frequency operation (the average nominal service life can be increased up to 50% depending on the type of luminaires and the switching cycle) leads to the fact that the lamps are more rare failure.
3. Reduced system energy consumption, as electronic ballasts consume less energy than conventional ballasts. Power losses when using electronic ballasts are only 8-10% of the lamp power.
4. The cost of the equipment can be paid off within 18 months (despite the higher initial investment) due to energy savings and lower operating costs (reduction of air conditioning costs, etc.).
5. Low operating costs thanks to longer lamp life (longer intervals between maintenance work) and the absence of separate tenants and condensers requiring additional maintenance time.
6. Reduced system energy consumption, as electronic ballasts consume less energy than conventional ballasts. Loss of power when using electronic ballasts is only 8-10% of lamp power.
7. No stroboscopic effect and wave of light thanks to high frequency operation.
8. Instant start without flickering
9. Less drop in luminous flux due to the lower load of the fluorescent lamp and, accordingly, less darkening of the ends of the lamp bulb.
10. Quiet operation thanks to the use of electronics;
11. Minimized annoying noise due to high frequency operation.
