Currently, energy-saving lamps (CFL) are widely used.
To reduce the dimensions of ballast chokes, they use high-frequency voltage converters, which several times reduce the dimensions of the chokes.
Upon failure electronic ballast is easy to repair.
But, when the filament burns out or the glass cone itself cracks, the bulb is usually thrown out.
Although there are warranty periods for Compact Fluorescent Lamps (energy-saving), and even up to 3 years. But the buyer often encounters the fact that the lamp does not light, and he did not keep the packaging, the sales receipt, the store owner went bankrupt, i.e. for reasons beyond the control of the consumer, it is not possible to exchange a faulty light bulb.
I got an energy-saving light bulb with an accidentally broken bulb and I immediately found the use of a throttle.
The kitchen uses a 30-watt fluorescent lamp, which has recently begun to annoy his wife; Buzzes, does not light for a long time, or blinks. The wife, of course, with hints that the house was left without a man, and her grandson was only 5 years old and she could not wait for a real assistant.
The Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL) ballast choke was first tested on a bench,
threw out a starter and a throttle from an operating daylight lamp, connected an electronic ballast shawl. Now the LDS lights up instantly, does not blink at low voltage and does not buzz.
