Power Gems, known for its ballast products in the motion picture field, will introduce a high-frequency sine wave 575W ballast with integrated hot re-strike ignitor. The new ballast has fewer parts and generates less heat than conventional systems, even with an active unity power factor correction stage. The new ballast doesn't require fan cooling in usual applications, is lightweight and cheaper to manufacture than its conventional counterparts.

Power Gems conducted a series of tests at Philips in Belgium, which demonstrated that lamps which had operated for 1,000 hours on high frequency sine wave displayed considerably reduced de-vitrification, and appeared almost new. Power Gems see this development as revolutionizing the way we consider discharge luminaires in the future, not only for the moving light industry but for theatre, venue and film applications also, where the ballast now becomes small enough to integrate with the luminaire. The company hopes to expand the range to include 700W, 800W and 1200W versions during the year.
