Technical Details – Components for Fluorescent Lamps
The use of electronic ballasts makes a lighting system both more convenient and efficient to operate:
• reduced power consumption (up to 30%) at undiminished light output
• 50% longer service life
• stabilised lamp output
• overvoltage protection
• no stroboscopic effect
• flicker-free lamp start
• no need for a starter or capacitor
• low wiring effort
• no radiated electromagnetic interference
• low self-heating due to minimal power loss
• automatic shutdown of defective lamps
• automatic restart once the lamp has been changed (except ELXe series)
Vossloh-Schwabe electronic ballasts are developed on the basis of the latest technological and component
standards and are produced using state-of-the-art technology, whereby consideration is taken of our
customers' quality standards in our quality assurance system.
