how do digital ballasts work?

Feb 25, 2006 1 Replies

hello, does anyone out there have a good explanation for how digital ballasts work?



how do they "power a 1000w light bulb at 800-900w instead of the 1100w it takes the magnetic ballast"?



thanks for any explanations of this magic, max

There will undoubtedly be other methods from other manufacturers for achieving similar design goals.
