A next-generation lighting tube equipped with a microcomputer ASIC that achieves longer lifespan and cost reduction for fluorescent lamps.
The Digital Ballast Pro incorporates a proprietary microcomputer ASIC developed in-house into the ballast, extending the flicker lifespan of fluorescent lamps by up to 30 times, ensuring that frequent turn-offs do not shorten the lamp's lifespan, thus achieving energy-saving and efficiency. It can be directly installed in starter-type (glow-type) lighting fixtures without the need for any construction, making it suitable for various locations such as Japanese-style rooms, kitchens, and elevators in apartments and buildings.

basic information
By using digital circuit control (ASIC) to instantly calculate and set the optimal preheating time for fluorescent lamp electrodes, we minimize emitter scattering during lamp lighting and extend the flicker lifespan of fluorescent lamps by up to 30 times. By adopting a multi-pulse method, we ensure reliable lighting even in cold regions or during instantaneous voltage drops. Additionally, with an automatic monitoring mode programmed within the IC, we significantly reduce maintenance costs (material, labor, and fluorescent lamp disposal costs) caused by lighting failures. Extending the lifespan of fluorescent lamps and significantly reducing the disposal of harmful mercury-containing fluorescent lamps contributes to protecting our environment. Furthermore, the digital starter promotes frequent on/off cycling of lights, achieving "the necessary light when needed" and proposing a reduction in lighting power consumption. Overview of Digital Starter Functions: - Flicker lifespan of fluorescent lamps is up to 30 times longer - Starters last over 20 times longer (Conventional glow starters: about 6,000 cycles, Digital starters: up to 300,000 cycles) - Instant lighting (lights up in about 0.6 seconds) - Safety features included (automatic power cutoff function at the end of lamp life) - Reliable lighting even in cold regions - Automatic restart function for lamp lighting during instantaneous power voltage drops
