The SELC 6000 35 - 55W smart ballast controls every type of high pressure sodium and metal halide lamp with a 80Hz power waveform with characteristics close to optimum for powering the most modern long life HID lamps.
Unlike conventional magnetic gear, the power supplied to the lamp by the SELC 6000 ballast is not sensitive to mains supply voltage fluctuations within its supply operating voltage range.Conventional ballasts can vary the lamp power by 12% if there is a 4% fluctuation in the supply voltage. This can reduce lamp life especially new modern HID lamps.
The SELC 6000 Range can be supplied with a data interface that allows it to communicate with all types of control and monitoring equipment – DALI, Lon Works, 0-10V and Candelon (the “equipment”).
The SELC 6000 ballast can switch the lamp ON and OFF, dim it and can communicate data to the equipment on the percentage of rated power at which the lamp is running, the lamp voltage, the mains supply voltage, the ballast temperate and other diagnostic information depending on the type of system deployed to monitor and control the road and street lights.
The SELC 6000 Range of smart ballasts’ ambient light sensor can control the ballast to switch its lamp ON and OFF. Also, if the part-night feature is activated (factory configured) part-night dimming by the SELC 6000 ballast is possible without any additional monitoring or control equipment using the light sensor or the group switching astro clock to set an internal clock. This saves energy and reduces carbon emitted during times of low vehicle or footfall activity.
