Ballast
Types
Select one
of the following ballast types for nomenclature, specs, characteristics
and input wattage.
| Magnetic: |
Core
& Coil ballast (no electronic components). Also referred to as "electromagnetic". |
| Electronic: |
Operated
by electronic circuitry with a single coil component. Each component
performs as an independent unit within the ballast. These ballasts
are sometimes referred to as "high frequency electronic",
"discrete" type, or (erroneously) as "hybrid". |
| IC
Electronic: |
Operated
by integrated circuit allowing individual components to work together
as a whole circuit. Integrated circuit electronic ballasts are sometimes
referred to as "fully electronic". |
| Hybrid: |
Core
& Coil ballast with a single electronic component. These ballasts
are sometimes referred to as "low frequency electronic". |
