IceCap 250W Electronic (HQI) Metal Halide Ballast

IceCap 250W Electronic Metal Halide &HQI Ballast This ballast will power any metal halide 250-watt bulb other than the 'XM' brand bulbs. It does not over-drive the bulb, so output will be at the bulb manufacturer's specifications. By using a constantly changing, very high frequency, the ballast will light any bulb without flicker. Longer bulb life and other features makes this the best ballast for all metal halide applications. Does not come with Molex connector. 4-inch wire leads included.

IceCap uses its unique, patented operating system, which allows you to save energy without compromising light output. By applying lower voltage across the lamp, energy consumption is reduced and lamp life is expected to be increased.

  • Energy Savings of over 10% from High Efficiency
  • Longer Lamp Life due to constant output
  • Longer Ballast life due to low heat
  • Compact Size to fit most fixtures
