Litestar III - High Frequency Electronic Ballast

The Litestar III is the latest generation of high frequency electronic ballasts for compact fluorescent T8 lamps. It is available in both single/twin versions and multi-lamp (3-4 lamp) versions. The mains input and lamp connections are top entry and the ballast is earthed through its fixings.

The Litestar ballast is ideally suited to a wide range of applications ranging from industrial and commercial use to offshore platforms and onshore petrochemical installations.
