            Ballast & Driver

            Ballasts and drivers are devices, other than the lamps themselves, that convert raw power into a form suitable for a light source. ​

            Devices include electronic and electromagnetic ballasts in interior and exterior fluorescent, high-intensity discharge (HID), and low-pressure sodium (LPS) lighting systems.

            Products are essential in transformers and other conversion devices employed in the operation of low-voltage lighting systems, light-emitting diodes (LED), and organic light-emitting diode (OLED) drive circuits and power supplies for electrodeless lamps.
