Ballasts and Ignitors

After Tridonic GmbH & Co KG in the year 2013 announced that it will close his magnetic ballast production, ELKOSUN successfully signed in October 2013 a contract with Tridonic GmbH & Co KG for selling there high-wattage HID ballast production line OG. After the successful relocation of the production line, ELKOSUN continued since January 2014 the production under its own brand. ELKOSUN follows the same quality standards as Tridonic to ensure the customers the same level of quality products under the new brand. The OG program consists of more than 100 different products, that combined with existing product range, allows ELKOSUN to cover all needs in the high Wattage HID segment. OG line capacity is about 8.000 pieces a month, bringing our whole high wattage HID ballasts capacity up to 50.000 pieces/month. The variety and capacity of manufacturing lines makes ELKOSUN one of the strongest and most flexible high wattage HID ballast producers on the market.

Ignitors are needed for HS and HI lamps ignition. The special feature of superimposed-pulse ignitors is that the ignition voltage is generated without placing a high-voltage load on the choke. Since March 2014 ELKOSUN continued the former Tridonic production of ultimate ZRM 20 ignitors under its own brand. The ZRM 20 ignitors have a capacity range from 1.000 – 3.500 W.

They are specially designed to operate with very low self-heating. To offer our customers a full solution we have implemented other Tridonic ignitor types into our portfolio 35 to 1000W in April 2015.

We can offer a complete range (35W – 3500W) of ignitors to our customers.

• Standard ballasts for FLUO, HS, HI, HM and UV lamps (4W – 3500W)
• Control gear units KIT series for HID lamps (250W-2000W)
• Complete range of ZRM ignitors (35W – 3500W).
• Ballasts for power reduction and ZRM POWER SWITCHES for energy savings in street lighting.

During the last years, all lighting-component producers are allocating their resources to the development and production of new technologies while once leading electromagnetic technology is being sidelined. Even worse; the biggest players like Philips, Osram, Tridonic and BAG have already stepped out of the magnetic sector.

But magnetic technology is still irreplaceable in many lighting and industrial applications. Simple technical solutions that make the products durable and reliable, together with the price accessibility are unbeatable features of magnetic technology in lighting applications. Because of unstoppable progress in the lighting component industry, that is aiming to provide more and more modern technology. Many OM clients are nowadays afraid, that they will be left out of a reliable top quality magnetic component supplier. ELKOSUN is their solution.

ELKOSUN’s focus is on magnetic technology, too. ELKOSUN provides a full range of top quality magnetic ballasts for HID, FLUORESCENT and UV lamps.

Based on a long tradition of developing and producing magnetic ballasts, ELKOSUN is focusing on answering the needs of its clients’ regarding magnetic products. The magnetic market is changing very fast and it is very important that ELKOSUN is adapting to these changes with the requested speed. ELKOSUN has been constantly investing in organization of the magnetic ballast production aiming to keep the best quality while making it more flexible in answering the client’s needs.
