What is the difference between a transformer, a ballast, and a wave?
Transformer - as the name implies, the voltage is either low or low. Ballast - generally refers to the fluorescent lamp startup and cooperate with the starter to produce flash, fluorescent lamp, after a limited current (is the current crackdown to live, don't call current too big).
The regenerator, which is commonly known as the "hopping bubble" on fluorescent lights, flashes a flash in the daylight.
The principle is the same, the difference is that the load is different. In electronic ballast load, the lamp pipe has resonant start circuit, load characteristic is gas discharge, the output should be consistent with the constant current characteristic. Electronic transformer load is a core transformer, the load is a change of inductance, the output current changes over load, so the no-load drive relative electronic ballast is slightly different.
