Core Challenges with Magnetic Ballasts Stressful Ignition Process Excessive amounts of energy and current are pushed during ignition process Damages lamp electrodes Creates arc chamber wall blackening Causes lumen degradation Dramatically reduces light output Low Frequency Operating Process HID lamp powered by low frequency sine wave that causes drastic electrode temperature changes Further erodes electrodes Shortens lamp life Creates bulb wall blackening Causes flickering
