HID ignitors for MK4 semi-parallel systems
Compact ignitors for flexible luminaire design
HID ignitors for semi-parallel systems
Benefits
- Wide range of lamps covered by one ignitor 35-600 W
- Digital versions ensure longer lifetime than series ignitors, and silent operation
- Smaller dimensions than predecessors mean it fits more easily into compact luminaires
Features
- Designed to ensure maximum performance with new MK4 ballasts
- Semi-parallel ignitor will only work in semi-parallel circuits and must be matched with the relevant ballast
- Ignitor equipped with screw terminal blocks as standard
- Lightweight and compact products
- Current flows through ignitor only at lamp start-up
System
- Electromagnetic system requires ballast, ignitor and capacitor
- Designed to work only in semi-parallel circuits: if ballasts with “L” in their description (e.g. BSN 100 L307…) are used, SN(D)… ignitors are required; if ballasts with “K” in their description (e.g. BSN 100 K307…) are used, SK(D)… ignitors are required. Capacitor value to match system power can be found on lamp/ballast combination sheet
- No ignitor needed for SON-I lamps
