Can a 40W electronic ballast match a 24W fluorescent tube?
The electronic ballast of 40W cannot match the fluorescent tube of 24W, the light bulb will soon be discarded, the heavy temperature will be too hot and the tube will be sold on the Internet
Danger is unlikely, but the lamp life will shorten some, if you like DIY, open the electronic ballast, the inside of the self-induction coefficient of current-limiting inductance large, the method is: have a look like small transformer dongdong, if there are little pieces of paper between ferrite core, smoke, on one side of the 502 adhesive with good. Pay attention to the safety, the power operation notices to completely disconnect the power supply in advance.
Don't match, the 24 watt bulb directly to 40 watts of ballast no danger, is will shorten the service life of the tubes, but has increased brightness, to substitute can be put inside a capacitor in a, is the series resonance capacitance, is one of the filament series high voltage capacitor, similar to the inside of the circuit inductance ballasts, the starter pressure between 1000 to 1600 volts, capacity is 682 ~ 822, with 472 ~ 562 was no problem. The sort of 18 ~ 55 watt gm are temporary use, for tubes is universal, there is no H, U, 2 U, 3 U, D, straight tube, as long as the lamp, ballast power matching can be used. Wide range is the pothole.
The ballast heating is normal phenomenon, but hot person is abnormal, energy-saving lamp saves electricity not to save money, I see you not better to change the energy-saving lamp of led
