ECO 600
Dimmable Ballast
Airontek ECO600 600W Electronic Ballast
The Airontek ECO600 electronic ballast represents a technologically advanced solution for those who want to maximize the efficiency and longevity of their HPS and MH lamps. This model is equipped with innovative features that set it apart from traditional ballasts, improving lighting quality and lamp life.
Main Features:
- Soft Start: Thanks to the Soft Start function, the ballast gradually starts the lamp, reducing stress on the system and extending its lifespan. This process minimizes lamp damage, ensuring greater efficiency over time.
- High Frequency: Designed to work with HPS and MH lamps, the Airontek ECO600 ballast ensures a stable and continuous light output, without flickering, offering superior light quality compared to electromagnetic models.
- Complete Protection: Equipped with a system to protect against power surges, the ballast ensures safe and reliable operation over time, preventing damage to lamps and systems.
Advantages Over Traditional Ballasts:
Electronic ballasts are known for being quieter and more efficient than electromagnetic ballasts. They generate less heat and require less energy to ignite HPS bulbs. A traditional ballast needs an initial peak of 680/700 watts to ignite a 600-watt bulb, while the ECO600 electronic ballast requires only 600/620 watts, reducing energy consumption and the risk of premature bulb wear.
The electronic ballast adopts a gradual start, avoiding electrical shocks and extending the bulb’s life. Over time, a traditional ballast can reduce the light efficiency by about 50-60%, while the ECO600 maintains greater efficiency, with a reduction of only 20-25% after a year of use.
