Xenon Gas Discharge Lighting (NON HID)


New 4th Generation Ballast

Hella is one of the leading designers and manufacturers of electronic ballasts for HID lamps. Many millions of the first three generations of ballasts are installed in vehicles around the globe. The 4th Generation Ballast is another milestone for our engineering team.

The 4th Generation Ballast offers some advanced features and decisive advantages:

3rd Generation Ballast  

3rd generation ballast firmly connected to the work lamp and Xenon D2S bulb

 
4th Generation ballast  

4th Generation ballast can be separated from the headlamp and Xenon D1S bulb

 
   
•
No high Voltage cable between Ballast and HID bulb.
  In contrast to work lamps with 3rd Generation Ballast, the high starting voltage is generated in the protected bulb socket of the D1 HID bulb.
The complex and costly high voltage plug to connect the HID bulb has been eliminated. A highly flexible connection cable with a much smaller diameter connector offers a flexibility of luminaire design and lamp installation.
   
•
Cable length between ballast and lamp of up to 3m.
  The much longer cable between ballast and lamp offers the installer a much greater degree of flexibility.
   
•
Electronic ballast can be separated from the lamp.
  A plug-in connection on the 4th Generation ballast makes it possible to remove the connection cable to the headlamp. This means the connection cable can be fed through an opening in the bodywork and the ballast mounted inside the vehicle. This makes mounting even easier.
