Vossloh-Schwabe offers Innovations for HID systems
It has always been an integral part of our corporate philosophy to accept responsibility for the environment and preserve resources wherever possible. VS power reduction components, e.g. power switches, provide new impetus in this respect.
Vossloh-Schwabe´s new product line of extremely compact electromagnetic ballasts featuring an integrated temperature switch and current monitor will open up the field for even more space-saving luminaire designs.
These ballasts comply with the requirements of protection class II and with that provide an alternative to ballasts with double or reinforced insulation for luminaires of protection class II.
