Description of Tridonic ballasts-mercury lamps

A direct replacement for your existing Mercury ballast if it has broken down

Simply select the same wattage as the one you are replacing

Ballasts (often called Chokes) are part of the operating gear for "Discharge Lamps" such as SON, SOX, Mercury and Metal Halide.

This section deals with just the control gear for MERCURY Lamps such as MBFU which give a white light

Mercury lamps have very nice simple circuits they give you a much softer white light than a metal halide, they are particularly useful where plastered or white walls are being lit as the metal halide may look too aggressive.

There is no such thing as a metal halide ballast they either run on Son gear or mercury gear you have to know which gear you have in order to select the correct replacement lamp.

Mercury lamps are often known as "Blended", MBFU, MBF, KOLORLUX, HSBL, HPL and HPL COMFORT.

Mercury lamps always have an external capacitor

Mercury lamp gear is often used for metal halide lamps but you have to know what you are doing if you are not replacing like for like with operating gear!
