Electronic ignitor for HID lamp circuits
HID ignitors for semi-parallel systems
Benefits
- Will only work with semi-parallel ballasts
- Silent operation
- Digital versions ensure longer lifetime than series ignitors
Features
- Semi-parallel ignitor will only work in semi-parallel circuits and must be matched with relevant ballast
- Current flows through ignitor only at lamp start-up
- Ignitor equipped with screw terminal blocks as standard
- Lightweight and compact products
System
- Electromagnetic system requires ballast, ignitor and capacitor
- No ignitor needed for SON-I lamps
- Designed to work only in semi-parallel circuits: if ballasts with “L” in their description (e.g. BSN 100 L307…) are used, SN(D)… ignitors are required; if ballasts with “K” in their description (example BSN 100 K307…) are used, SK(D)… ignitors are required. Capacitor value to match system power can be found on lamp/ballast combination sheet
