Comparison of electronic and conventional ballasts used in roadway lighting

Abstract: Although manufacturers recommend light-emitting diode technology for all types of urban lighting, it is likely that high-pressure sodium lamps will be used for roadway lighting for many years. The purpose of this paper is to establish whether electronic ballasts represent a better solution for such lamps than electromagnetic ballasts. Special attention was devoted to the fact that electronic ballasts allow considerably higher voltage drops. However, taking into account the earth-fault protection demands, it is… Show more

“…It also results from the advantages of these luminaires and their still very attractive price. The most important advantage of high-pressure sodium lamps is their high luminous efficacy within the range of 68-150 lm/W [21]. Highpressure sodium lamps require a suitable operating circuit to ensure proper operation.…”
