- IceCap 150W Metal Halide HQI Ballast : Energy Saving:
IceCap`s HID Electronic Ballast is the most efficient 150W available. It provides superior energy savings through an active "Power Factor Correction" input stage, ensuring a P.F. of over 94% for any line/load condition.
Benefits:
- Minimal waste heat generation.
- Allows more ballasts to operate on the same circuit.
- Minimum load on air conditioners and/or chillers.
- Superior Ignition
Unlike competitor`s ballasts, which employ "hard" pulse ignition, IceCap`s ballast employs patented "soft" highfrequency ignitions, virtually elimination the bulb`s electrode wear (which is the major factor causing lamp aging and failure).
Benefits:
- Reduced "lumen degradation" resulting in almost constant light output over the bulb`s useful life. - Increased bulb life.
Reliability:
IceCap`s unique electronic ballasts are designed and built for maximum reliability, and years of troublefree operation.
Benefits:
More than 100,000 hours average ballast life at 122 degrees F (50 degrees C) ambient operating environment (lower temperatures = longer life).
Warranty:
Like all IceCap electronic ballasts, a no hassle, transferable 3year warranty. Great products built to last.
- IceCap 175W Metal Halide Electronic Ballast : This ballast will power any metal halide 175-watt bulb. It does not over-drive the bulb, so output will be at the bulb manufacturer's specifications.
By using a constantly changing, very high frequency, the ballast will light any bulb without flicker. Longer bulb life and other features makes this the best ballast for all metal halide applications. Does not come with Molex connector.
IceCap uses its unique, patented operating system, which allows you to save energy without compromising light output. By applying lower voltage across the lamp, energy consumption is reduced and lamp life is expected to be increased.
Advantages:
- Energy Savings of over 10% from High Efficiency
- Longer Lamp Life due to constant output
- Longer Ballast life due to low heat
- Compact Size to fit most fixtures
- High Frequency Operation is flicker & noise free
- Savings on air conditioning costs
Quality:
- Built-in circuit protection
- High Voltage, High Current Protection
- High Temperature Shut-Down
- Improper Wiring Protection
- Automatic Bulb Failure Shut-Down
- Automatic Resetting
- Starts in Cold Temperature
- Starts in Low Voltage Environments

AquaMedic Reeflex Metal Halide Ballasts: The Reeflex Cube magnetic ballasts for HQI lamps are an exciting mix of tried-and-true technology and innovative design.
The head-turning cube housing certainly makes these ballasts stand out in a crowd but they are not just a pretty face.
The advanced cooling architecture features a top mounted fan crowning 4 well ventilated walls for unprecedented breathing room. This means that every component inside gets a generous stream of life-extending fresh air.
Life expectancy is a major consideration here and is among the reasons these ballasts were born magnetic. Of course magnetic ballasts deliver a bit more punch than their electronic cousins but that is only half of the story. Every component of this ballast is easily accessible and replaceable by even the least mechanically inclined. This means a lifetime of high performance and minimal down-time.
Instead of throwing away an electronic ballast and buying a new one, the Reeflex Cube magnetic ballast can be kept running inevitably with very little effort or expense. Maybe the best part of all is that these beauties are hand made in the USA!

* High quality components
* Advanced cooling architecture
* Strong magnetic performance
* A lifetime of serviceability
* Made in the USA
* Available in 150w (M81) and 250w (M80) HQI formats
