DC fluorescent ballasts, operating from batteries, 12VDC, enable compact fluorescent lamps to provide light very efficiently. Unique and innovative design operate at nearly Constant Power, see data sheet and high efficiency giving you longer battery life. Constant Power is ideal for fluorescent lamps, under running a lamp will shorten its life. Constant Power is available from, a nearly flat battery at 10.5V to a fully charged battery at 14.7V . Each lamp provides *6x the light compared to an ordinary incandescent lamp. This means that an 11w lamp is equivalent to an ordinary 75W* incandescent lamp bulb. All provide nearly Constant Power to the lamp to ensure maximum life. *Osram data claims 11W is equivalent to 75W incandescent, for S/E series of lamps. All power measurements on LVF ballasts are made with the aid of a 13G0100 Lilco Wideband Current Transformer, see next panel.

No need to charge the battery so often. For off-grid remote locations, portable lighting, vehicle lighting, emergency lighting and Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) applications. LVF DC fluorescent ballasts maintain optimum lamp power. LVF ballasts ensure that the lamps are running correctly and achieve long lamp life. Maintenance costs are reduced, with extended lamp life, avoiding frequent replacement.

Many cheap DC fluorescent ballasts do cause rapid failure of the fluorescent lamp due to under running and thus extra cost with lamp replacement. LVF DC Fluorescent ballasts enable long lamp life and save you money at the same time. Use LVF DC ballasts to save money, power and down-time. Made from the finest quality components, all RoHS compliant, and carefully engineered to last. Make full use of your valuable solar energy.

High Efficiency, Low Loss 12V DC Fluorescent Lamp Ballasts. World leaders in this field. Nothing can match our quality or performance. Our ballasts achieve about 85% efficiency measured using a calibrated calorimeter. 85% means more lumens per watt.

 
 
Typical output current waveform into 50R termination
 

A precision lab quality current transformer from Lilco will enable simultaneous measurement of Current and Voltage (with suitable voltage probe, which must be carefully calibrated) without a common earth point, which would distort measurement accuracy. With a modern digitizing oscilloscope, using the multiplier function, you can display instantaneous power waveforms and show mean value of power waveform, with all phase differences taken into account by the digitizing multiplier. An invaluable measurement tool
