Frequently asked questions

Common questions about GE LAMPS HID from 3G Electric.

What is the difference between pulse-start and probe-start metal halide ballast kits in the GE Lamps HID line?

Pulse-start ballast kits use an ignitor to provide a high-voltage pulse to start the lamp, which can improve lamp life and color consistency. They are identified by ANSI codes such as M140 or M90. Probe-start ballast kits require a lamp with a starting probe and use a different ballast circuit, identified by ANSI codes like M59 or M47. The choice depends on the lamp type and the existing fixture wiring. GE Lamps HID offers both types to match various lamp models.

What voltage options are available for GE Lamps HID metal halide ballast kits?

GE Lamps HID metal halide ballast kits are available with multiple input voltage options. Common configurations include 120/208/240/277V AC and 120/208/240/277/480V AC. The specific voltage range depends on the ballast model and wattage. For example, the 100W pulse-start kit (SKU 21GR17) operates on 120/208/240/277V, while the 400W probe-start kit (SKU 48K858) supports 120/208/240/277/480V. Always verify the voltage requirements of your application before ordering.

Do GE Lamps HID ballast kits include an ignitor?

Yes, the GE Lamps HID metal halide ballast kits supplied by 3G Electric include an ignitor as part of the kit. The ignitor is essential for pulse-start lamps and is also used in some probe-start configurations. The kit packaging typically contains the ballast, ignitor, and sometimes a capacitor, depending on the model. This simplifies installation and ensures compatibility. Refer to the specific product specifications for details on included components.

What ANSI codes are supported by GE Lamps HID ballast kits?

GE Lamps HID ballast kits support a range of ANSI codes that correspond to lamp wattages and starting methods. Examples include M140 and M90 for 100W pulse-start lamps, M59 for 400W probe-start lamps, and M47 for 1000W probe-start lamps. These codes ensure that the ballast matches the electrical characteristics of the lamp. When selecting a ballast kit, match the ANSI code to the lamp's requirements for proper operation and longevity.

Can GE Lamps HID ballast kits be used in outdoor lighting applications?

GE Lamps HID ballast kits are suitable for use in outdoor lighting fixtures when installed in an appropriate enclosure that protects against environmental factors. The ballasts themselves are not rated for direct exposure to weather unless specified. Typical outdoor applications include parking lot lighting, floodlighting, and street lighting. Ensure the fixture provides adequate protection and ventilation. For specific environmental ratings, consult the product datasheet.
