Energy Saving
IceCap's HID Electronic Ballast is the most efficient 175-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 are:
- 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" high-frequency ignitions, virtually elimination the bulb's electrode wear (which is the major factor causing lamp aging and failure). Benefits are:
- 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 trouble-free operation. An overwhelming benefit is:
- >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. Main benefits are:
- 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. This means this ballasts will 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. |
