The ballast, the starter is the elimination of the product
Fluorescent lamps (including fluorescent lamp, energy-saving lamps and other light tube) must use the ballast to light, therefore, all the energy-saving lamp ballast, just some of the lamps and lanterns of the ballast and lamp is separation, some are installed inside the tube plastic shell (called the ballast energy-saving lamps). It is indeed the starter will be eliminated, because inductive ballasts have nearly eliminated, the reason was that the inductive ballast efficiency is too low, and fever, launch tubes ability is bad. However, the old-style electric ballast is very long and the failure rate is low, and now the mainstream electronic ballast has a high failure rate.
Energy saving is all about using ballast. But the electronic ballast that is now being used is getting smaller and smaller and hidden in the spiral lamp, only to be able to see the energy-saving lights.
Yes, is a kind of fluorescent lamps, energy-saving lamps to ballast, it just hid electronic ballasts in the stomach, you may buy the energy-saving lamps are of good quality and more durable, more durable than electronic ballast inductance ballasts in essence (for ballast and bulb are durable, the starter but often bad, efficiency is also low)
not necessarily the first electronic ballast, easy installation, a total of six line end two zero wire, the other end of the four pillars are two of a set of received light foot, compared with the inductance ballast is complicated, but the durability of inductance ballast can use a long time, some with inductance ballasts for more than ten years it is in use. I think the traditional ballast and the hui hui will not be eliminated in a short time.
