22. CONCLUSIONS  This paper described a single stage high power factor electronic ballast for high pressure sodium lamps.  This ballast presents a very low cost because it avoids an external PFP.  The phenomenon of the acoustic resonance should not be observed because the HPS lamp is excited by a modulated power signal.

23. CONCLUSIONS  A very high power factor was obtained at low power.  The crest factor found was not good enough and must be improved.
