With difference to the electromagnetic ballast, the electronic ballast must have a minimum waterproof protection of IP44 if we want to make an outdoor installation or an indoor installation where there is a condensation of humidity.
Otherwise the electronic ballast will not function even f it is installed inside of the light box, this is because the humidity en condensation inside every sign installed outdoor will cause the ballast to short-circuit.
Duo to the latest standards and energy saving situation, this ballast have gained position in giant steps with reference to kits of electromagnetic ballast, being that their principal advantages are the following:
- Comply with the current standards (EEI)
- 30% energy saving with EEI=A2
- Increases the Tubes life by 30% when preheating is existing.
- Estimated lifespan over 30.000 hours.
- Considerable weight reduction.
- Does not require condenser nor external starters.
- Dou to its high frequency there is no light blinking.
Luz Negra launches to the market a new Kit with electronic kits for florescent tubes with an IP44 waterproof grade. This guaranties its correct function when installed outdoor.
This ballast are also categorized in EEI=A2 energy group, this allows a higher energy saving ratio then most of the conventional electronic ballast, and disposes of preheated witch increases considerably the tubes lifespan. This ballast also complies with European standards of electromagnetic compatible CEE and environment standards RoSh.
