The 1500w metal halide ballast kit M48 5-tap is an magnetic ballast that regulates the electrical current to the metal halide lamp, ensuring efficient and stable operation.
capacitors and ignitors are sold in 1500w metal halide Ballast kits that come pre-wired and reduce labor cost. Capacitors and ignitors are also sold separately.
Power factor capacitors are used to reduce the negative effects that inductive devices (HID ballast) have on power factor ratings. James sells a complete line of capacitors that must be properly matched to the lamp and HID ballast.
6/300 6uf Capacitor Specifications, Capacitor has a full line of James, lighting capacitors and HID Ignitors, always for less. We are a supplier of metal halide and HPS ballast.
