Description |
programmed-start ballasts are more advanced versions of rapid-start ballasts. They have preprogrammed start-up sequences designed to give superior longevity to lamps. They first apply voltage to the electrodes to heat them up for a short interval, then apply voltage to the lamps. This helps avoid a common problem in fluorescent lights called "tube blackening' which occurs when the electrodes are damaged from voltages without sufficient heating. |
