Aided by a new full-bridge controller, a popular electronic HID ballast topology manages lamp operation, while enhancing lamp safety. Tom Ribarich, Director, Lighting IC Design Center, International ...

With all of the excitement surrounding LEDs these days, one might say high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps are out of the limelight. But though LEDs get most of the headlines, HID sources are still ...

Suitable for use in downlighting, track lighting, and accent lighting applications, the e-Vision Mini 120-V 20-W electronic HID ballast is intended to drive ceramic metal halide lamps. Measuring just ...

Despite the long history of development and use of high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps, many in the industry expect that they will soon become extinct, given the rapid growth of light-emitting diode ...

Yes, HID lighting is affected by poor power quality. External occurrences can cause HID lighting distribution voltage to either interrupt the HID lamp's arc stream or to sag below the minimum voltage ...

High Intensity Discharge (HID) lighting does not use the filament that is commonly found in normal automotive or motorcycle light bulbs. Instead, the bulb is filled with Xenon gas. The gas is ignited ...

Addressing recessed and accent lighting applications within the retail, commercial, institutional, and hospitality sectors, the e-Vision electronic HID ballast can drive two 39-W metal halide lamps.
