Ignitors and power switches

Ignitors for generating the ignition voltages needed by metal halide lamps and sodium lamps without internal starters use either superimposed-pulse or pulse technology. The innovative range of ignitors from Tridonic includes standard ignitors suitable for all commercially available high-intensity discharge lamps with wattages from 35 to 3,500 W, which require an ignition voltage between 800 and 5,000 V depending on the type of lamp.
