| The Vari-Ballast™ is an Intelligent Ballast |
An intelligent ballast is an electronic ballast with a brain.
An intelligent ballast regulates voltage from any electrical system to
deliver all required output wattages. An intelligent ballast incorporates
dimming and timing controls, delivers a steady silent output, and prolongs
the life of ballast and bulb. When connected, groups of ballasts can work
together, or a central control unit can be added to control and monitor
thousands of individual lamps.
An intelligent ballast can be used anywhere in the world, will drive any
type of HID or fluorescent lamp, and delivers a silent, steady light.
No flicker, no hum, no hassle.
Each Vari-Ballast™ can be used as a stand-alone device or linked device.
The stand-alone model includes a built-in control panel for dimming and
monitoring burn hours, thermal output, and energy efficiency.
When linked to other ballasts, the Vari-Ballast™ can be monitored
individually or as part of a group through a master control unit (MCU).
Combined with an MCU and optional hub, thousands of lamps can be controlled
and monitored by authorized site engineers using wired or wireless desktop,
laptop or hand-held computers.
With the proper security authorization, a site manager can control, dim,
and monitor individual and banks of lamps from virtually any place on the globe.
What is an HID Ballast?
A High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamp is a gas-filled, glass tube.
The lamp is described by the gas within the arc tube, such as High
Pressure Sodium (HPS), Metal Halide (MH), or Mercury Vapor (Hg Vapor).
Every HID lamp requires a ballast. The ballast is the device that starts the
lamp, creates the arc within the arc tube, and regulates the electrical
current during operation. A single Vari-Ballast™ drives HPS, MH, and Hg vapor lamps.
Magnetic ballasts dominated the HID market in the past but are now being
replaced because they waste energy, flicker, make noise, and weigh as much
as 40 lbs. Electronic ballasts are 30-60% more energy-efficient, don't
flicker, don't make noise, and weigh less than 5lbs.
The Vari-Ballast™ combines the best characteristics of electronic ballasts
with high-tech microprocessors and intelligent circuitry and offers a
complete ballast system, an electronic ballast with a brain.
