Universal Lighting Technologies has partnered with Vossloh-Schwabe to bring electronic high-intensity discharge (eHID) ballasts into the Universal family of products. These ballasts can significantly reduce energy use and monthly operating costs in a range of applications, says Universal, including warehouses, big box stores, factories, parking lots, etc. The Vossloh-Schwabe line of eHID ballasts from Universal are suitable for metal halide lamps ranging from 20W to 400W, with energy savings up to 17% compared to magnetic HID ballasts, adds Universal. Vossloh-Schwabe eHID ballasts have a microprocessor that continuously monitors lamp characteristics during operation and adjusts lamp current to optimize lamp performance.
