A Fluorescent Fixed Output Gear with 50% longer lamp life than with conventional ballasts. It features compact, square, lightweight, high frequency electronic ballasts for TL5 circular lamps, up to 25% energy saving at constant luminous flux compared with conventional ballasts and constant light independent of mains voltage fluctuations. It also features flicker-free, warm-start circuit programmed start, protected against excessive mains voltages, automatic stop circuit (safety stop) is activated within 5 seconds in case of lamp failure, ballast resets automatically after lamp replacement. It is ideal for applications with high switching frequency use with infrared remote-control systems.
