IceCap`s HID Electronic Ballast is the most efficient 150 watt available. It provides superior energy savings through an active `Power Factor Correction` input stage, ensuring a P.F. of over 97% for any line/load condition. Benefits:- Minimal waste heat generation.
- Allows more ballasts to operate on the same circuit.
- Minimum load on air conditioners and/or chillers.
Superior Ignition:
Unlike competitor`s ballasts, which employ "hard" pulse ignition, IceCap`s ballast employs patented "soft" highfrequency ignitions, virtually elimination the bulb`s electrode wear (which is the major factor causing lamp aging and failure). Benefits:- Reduced "lumen degradation" resulting in almost constant light output over the bulb`s useful life.
- Increased bulb life.
Reliability:
IceCap`s unique electronic ballasts are designed and built for maximum reliability, and years of troublefree operation.Benefits: more than 100,000 hours average ballast life at 122 degrees F (50 degrees C) ambient operating environment (lower temperatures = longer life).Embedded Microprocessor Control:
Embedded microprocessor ensures digital accuracy for all control and protection functions, as well as digital I/O communication. Benefits:
- Digital, "no drift" accuracy.
- Ballast automatically adapts to aging bulbs characteristics.
- Provides digital I/O communication.
Universal Voltage Input:
Ballasts will operate reliably and at full power at any voltage between 85 and 265 volts, 60 or 50 Hz. Benefits: ballasts deliver full power even in brownout conditions.Warranty:
Like all IceCap electronic ballasts, a no hassle, transferable 3 year warranty. Great products built to last.
