Prevent lamp extinction and subsequent need for re-strike in metal halide lighting systems with the Artic ARC Keeper HID backup ballasts from Bodine. Designed for cold, damp installations, such as parking garages, the ballasts’ ambient temperatures range from -40 to 131 F. The units sense minor line disturbances and maintain the lamp arc for up to 2 minutes, which provides enough time for a disturbance to pass or for a generator to begin to provide power to the lamp. The units allow metal halides to serve as emergency lighting.
