The latest innovation in HID lighting has been the development of pulse start
technology which saves energy producing more lumens per watt. It's
something that engineers have been working on for a long time and now it's a
viable product that is used in warehouses and production plants. The bulb
usually has a lower wattage such as 300, 320 or 350 watts that replace a
standard 400 watt metal halide lamp. So energy savings in these types of
situations can be significant. We supply the entire kit which gives you
all the parts you need to replace your ballast for maintenance or energy
savings. We
stock Universal HID pulse start metal halide ballasts for any kind of HID source you may
have which includes metal halide, high pressure sodium or mercury vapor. HID
lamps have been a trusted source of light year after year, and it's the standard
for applications like industrial, roadway or security lighting. For your
general information, the high pressure sodium lamp gives off a golden white
color and pulse start metal halide illuminates with a white light, that is how you can tell
the difference. You can count on
Universal Lighting Technologies for the widest variety of ballasts for all kind
of lighting applications. We're are one of the largest distributors of this
product line and we can't think of a better way to maintain your home, municipal
or security lighting. The kits comes with everything you need including
core and coil, capacitor, and mounting hardware which will make your job easier.
As with all HID bulbs, they operate on magnetic or sometimes
electronic ballasts to make them work. Universal ballasts for our pulse start
metal halide lamps are
one of the most popular brands in the industry with a history of reliable
service that goes back many decades. We stock them in a multi-tap voltage
configuration which means you can use them on 120, 208 or 277 volt circuits. We
have 480 volt ballasts but those are almost always a dedicated voltage. In
either case, we make it easier for you by providing the correct one, without
having to keep individual voltages on the shelf. It should also be mentioned
that ballasts for various types are not interchangeable. For example, a 400 watt
pulse start metal halide and a 400 watt high pressure sodium do not use the same ballast.
In fact, a 400 watt pulse start and a 400 watt standard metal halide would not
use the same ballast either!
The range of the Universal product line includes operation for all the
general categories of HID and all the available wattages used in industry
today. All of them have a capacitor as part of the kit which provides a high
voltage for a brief moment, in order to start the arc. It's a maintenance issue for building
managers of warehouse, industrial, roadway and security lighting. It's usually
okay to retrofit a system such as high pressure sodium to metal halide as many
people prefer the pure white color of the halide lamps. The socket is usually
the same and it's simply a matter of changing the ballast and lamp with our
Universal HID replacement ballast kits.
Keep in mind that there are various types of Universal ballasts,
we describe some of the general characteristics of them for industrial lighting
today. Whatever type you have, you will be getting the most reliable ballast on
the market today. Our inventory of ballasts is one of the most complete
available online. There's really no ballast, either electronic or magnetic,
that we can't replace with the Universal brand. If you need help identifying a
ballast, our customer service representatives can help you determine what you
have. They're experts at helping you find what you need. It would be helpful if
you can give them the number off the ballast label as that will help the process
go faster.
