In the wake of increased use of electronic ballasts for fluorescent lamps and discharge lamps high pressure interior lighting, the use of electronic outdoor lighting also seems destined to grow. The reasons are as follows: reduction of energy costs, increased the lifespan of lamps and the possibility of graduation lamps high pressure extremely efficient, thus tackling the problem of wasted energy. It is possible to save energy because electronics can reduce the intensity of light at a minimum during periods that do not require lighting.Many of us have ever experienced at one time or another, to conduct night that the ocean of light around a highway or a city centre was not totally necessary and a quantity of light would have been slightly lower perfectly adequate.
The modern electronics can achieve considerable energy savings, because it enhances the effectiveness and maintains a constant flow of light the lamp over its entire lifetime. In the case of a lamp SON-T 150 W, for example, it is possible to achieve 10% savings or more. The electronics also allows graduation lamps very effective way to garner even up to 65% savings. The advantages are obvious: the possibility of creating a dynamic lighting regulating the amount of light needed depending on the time and (or) of the place. The electronics are not sensitive to voltage reductions, such as those caused by a long cable for example, distribution of light remains constant. Even an increase or a decrease of 10% voltage can be compensated and the flow of the lamp remains under strict limits, whatever the circumstances. The lifespan of the lamp can be increased from 20 to 30%. Last advantage, but not least, modern electronics has finally relegated to oblivion the extremely annoying flickering lamps old and worn.
The use of electronics has so many advantages that the development of future lamps, according to estimates based exclusively on the use of electronic ballasts, which ensures maximum compatibility.
