What is an electronic ballast (EB)?
EB stands for electronic ballast. EBs and dimmable EBs are increasingly being used instead of conventional or low-loss ballasts. They reduce power consumption and make for a high degree of visual comfort. Other advantages: higher luminous efficacy of lamps, flicker-free instant starting, longer lamp life, automatic disconnection of defective lamps. What is photoelectric lighting? Photoelectric lighting controllers automatically switch lights on and off when a pre-defined level of brightness is reached. The brightness is monitored by an integrated light sensor. Its sensitivity should be infinitely adjustable, e.g. from two to 2,000 lux for outdoor lighting. What is a lamp? No lamp, no light. The term “lamp” refers to an engineered artificial light source, e.g. incandescent lamp, energy-saving lamp, compact fluorescent lamp. Lamps are used in luminaires, which distribute and direct the lamps’ light and prevent it causing glare. What is glare? Glare can be caused directly by luminaires or
