Rapid smart starter

This is meant for high-pressure sodium lamps in all ratings - 150, 100, 70, 50 or 35 W. The rapid smart starter (lamp reignitor) is an electronic device designed to cold start and rapidly restart hot high-pressure sodium lamps after momentary power interruptions or drops in supply voltage (brown-outs). Upon restart, light levels will be proportionate to the period of time lamp was extinguished. Advantages: minimises delays or hesitation during hot lamp restarting; restores lamp operation upon return of power; protects against self destruction in the event of failed, missing or broken lamps, socket or lead wire failure; prevents "end of life" lamps from continuous cycling over long periods of time; remains unaffected by stray voltages, moderate over-voltages, as well as under-voltage conditions; drops into the background during normal lamp operation with exceptionally low insertion loss; fully encapsulated construction assures electrical integrity and mechanical vibration protection; and UL recognised component. Applications: performs well in most applications where the rapid recovery and re-establishment of light levels are critical to safety and security; and well suited for applications requiring immediate return of useable light levels following momentary power interruptions or drops in supply voltage (brown-outs).
