Fluorescent lamps (tube lights) are used for indoor lighting in almost all premises e.g. homes, shop floors of industries, commercial centres, offices, clubs, shops, restaurants, hotels, etc. To run a fluorescent lamp, an electromagnetic choke and a starter is required. The electromagnetic choke always consumes lot of energy which affects the efficiency of the lamp. This choke can now be replaced by an Electronic Ballast for reducing such losses drastically. The electronic ballast saves about 35% of energy. Thus it is used wherever there is a fluorescent lamp.

Product Quality

The quality of the product produced by the offered process as compared to the branded products is given below.
Few common disadvantages of 'Conventional Chokes':

  • Does not function at low voltages
  • Requires starter to operate
  • Flickering
  • Radio frequency interference

Electronic Ballast overcomes these 'defects effectively'
Major advantages of Electronic Ballast:

  • Saving in Energy
  • Longevity of tube (Double)
  • Low noise
  • Operates at low voltages
  • No RF or stroboscopic effect
  • No heat
  • Instant-Start operation
  • No Noise
  • Low Voltage Lighting
  • Minimal Weight
  • No Starter Required
  • No Flickering
