Ballast Replacement
Pulse Start Ballast – The Best Choice for You
At its most basic, a ballast limits the amount of current contained within an electrical device. They are probably most common in light fixtures, especially metal halide or industrial tube fluorescent lights. For years, probe start ballasts have been the standard for these lights, and have up until recently been the only affordable choices. While certain light fixtures will still require these probe start ballasts, they are quickly being replaced with the much more effective and efficient transformers. These ballasts have numerous advantages over the older styles, and a quick review of their benefits will explain why they’re the right choice for your lighting needs.
A pulse start ballast uses a high voltage igniter to send a series of electrical pulses through the lamp. They lose much less heat than traditional metal halide lights and also feature a shorter warm up period and the ability to start in much colder temperatures than their counterparts. In fact, these ballasts can function in temperatures as low as negative forty degrees. Combined to magnetic ballasts, these lights can produce thirteen percent more lumens at the same level of energy intake, making them much more efficient and less expensive to operate over the course of time.
Using these types of lamps can save you money in energy costs as well as replacement costs.

Another added benefit of a pulse start ballast light fixture is purely aesthetic, but nonetheless important. The infamous flicker that industrial fluorescent lights are famous for is a thing of the past thanks to the electrical transformer’s ability to operate at a more efficient frequency than the older models. This alone is enough to convince many people to make the switch. As time marches on, pulse start electrical ballasts will undoubtedly become the industry standard while metal halide ballasts slowly fade into obscurity, much like the incandescent bulb had done over the last few years. If you’re about to install new fixtures, it’s well worth it to install lights utilizing these efficient transformers. will last on average fifty percent longer than a metal halide lamp, for starters.
