How to choose the right magnetic ballast?

Choosing the right magnetic ballast is crucial. It affects the efficiency and durability of the entire system. Here are the main criteria to consider:

  • Lamp type (sodium, mercury, fluorescent)
  • Lamp power
  • Supply voltage
  • Working frequency
  • Ambient conditions (temperature, humidity)

Proper ballast selection ensures optimal lamp operation.   It ensures their long life and stable light parameters. In case of doubt, our experts will be happy to advise you on the choice.

In everyday practice, we see how important this element is. An unsuitable ballast can shorten the life of the lamp. It can also lead to unstable lighting. That is why professional advice is so important when buying.

Magnetic ballasts work with various accessories. These include igniters and capacitors. Our offer includes a full range of these products. This allows you to complete the entire system from one supplier.

Magnetic ballasts and modern lighting solutions

Although new technologies are appearing on the market, magnetic ballasts still have their place. They are irreplaceable in many industrial applications. They also work well in difficult environmental conditions. Their simple design translates into high reliability.

At Onninen we follow the latest trends in lighting.   We offer both classic solutions and modern alternatives. Our customers can choose between magnetic and electronic ballasts. Each solution has its advantages and areas of application.

Magnetic ballasts are often chosen for industrial lighting. They work well in production halls and warehouses. They are resistant to difficult working conditions. They tolerate high temperatures and vibrations well. This makes them an ideal choice for demanding applications.

In our practice, we often come across questions about energy efficiency. Magnetic ballasts, although less efficient than electronic ones, have their advantages. They are cheaper to buy and easier to repair. In some applications, their use is still economically justified.

We recently completed a project for a large manufacturing plant. The client decided on magnetic ballasts for sodium lamps. The aim was to illuminate halls with high ambient temperatures. Our products proved to be excellent in these demanding conditions.

Many customers ask us about the possibility of upgrading existing installations. In such cases, we often recommend staying with magnetic ballasts. Replacing them with electronic ballasts would require major changes to the installation. This is not always cost-effective.

For new installations, it is worth considering different options. Magnetic ballasts can be a good choice for simple systems. They work well in places where there is no need for advanced lighting control.

Onninen recommends considering all aspects before making a decision.   The purchase price is just one factor. Operating and service costs must also be taken into account. Our experience shows that sometimes a simpler solution is better.

Our experience shows that magnetic ballasts are still popular. Especially in industry and urban infrastructure. Their simple design makes diagnostics and repairs easier. This is especially appreciated by maintenance services.

At Onninen, we offer not only products but also expert advice. Our experts will help you choose the optimal solution. We take into account the specifics of the project and long-term operating costs. This allows our customers to make an informed decision.

Magnetic ballasts are a proven technology with a well-established position. In combination with modern light sources, they create effective lighting systems. We invite you to familiarize yourself with our offer and take advantage of the knowledge of our specialists.
