15 DC Fluorescent Ballasts by LIT and IOTA Engineering

15 DC Fluorescent Ballasts by LIT and IOTA Engineering

12 , 24, 28 & 48 volt dc fluorescent inverter ballasts by

Light It Technologies / Montana Light and IOTA Engineering.

The largest selection and on hand inventory.

Everything priced on this page is in stock,

at our location.

We ship Monday through Saturday.

These low voltage dc inverter ballasts are ideal for converting existing lighting

fixtures such as table, wall, work, shop or ceiling lights to operate on

12, 24 or 48 volts d.c.

You can also use these to make your own lighting fixtures.

Many people are purchasing these to replace old ballasts in their

recreational vehicles.

These are widely used in portable medical equipment and in the telecommunications

industry.

A number of our customers are original equipment manufacturers

and specify these inverter/ballasts in their products.

The ballasts are very efficient and use only the power that

each tube requires.

Very popular for use in insect attracting lights.

Many rock hounds use these to build portable UV lights for examining

minerals.

The wires are tinned to protect against corrosion for long term use.

Simple to wire and made in the USA.

24 volts d.c. please click on the following link:

For Thin-Lite replacement ballasts please click onto

the following link: 21 Thinlite Replacement Ballasts

All of the dc ballasts on this page have polarity

protection on the input to protect against improper

wiring and are designed to operate ONE fluorescent

tube at a time.

These are the "Push-Pull" twin transistor sine-wave type with

Radio Frequency Interference suppression.

Both the Light It Technologies / Montana Light and the

IOTA Engineering inverter ballasts are complete with

wiring and carry a ONE YEAR factory warranty.

A note when using fluorescent lights.

The quickest way to reduce the life of both fluorescent tubes and ballasts

is to run them on too low of a voltage.

Make sure that your battery is properly charged and that the wire size

from the battery to the light is of the right gauge.

You can always call us for more information.

A d.c. fluorescent ballast is actually two devices in one.

The technical name is an inverter-ballast.

It takes a d.c. voltage, inverts it into a.c., and then steps it

up to a high enough voltage and frequency to fire and

maintain a fluorescent tube.

Quantity Pricing is available on all of the 12 and 24 volt

IOTA Engineering ballasts when using the Go-emerchant black

IOTA Engineering dc ballasts

Some of the low watt IOTA ballasts are also available by Special

Order in an "R" small can configuration.

These have the same electrical specifications as the standard

ballast, just in a smaller package.

IOTA ballasts are commonly found in lighting packages which

are installed in machining centers.

Model # 2D48-1-40 lamps

An ideal choice for lighting up an inverter room, supplemental / emergency

lighting for homes using a 48 volt inverter as well as for remote

inverter based alternative energy systems.

These are used extensively in the telecommunications industry.

These come pre-wired and ready to install.

The maximum operating temperature is 150 degrees F.

In an enclosed fixture it is recommended that the ballast be

mounted to a heat sink such as aluminum sheet.

As IOTA builds these to order, and the lead time can run from two

to five weeks, we will show our daily inventory.

This is to help our customers when planning for large projects.

Currently we have 7 in stock. More are due back in early April, 2012.<<<<

PRICE: ( 2D48-1- 40 ) $ 34.00 each

The following Add To Cart button offers several shipping options

based on the order weight and your zip code.

A note when using these inverter/ballasts as part of an insect lure

or collection trap.

If your system is set up where the battery voltage will run low during

the night, ballast failure can result.

As the voltage drops, the amperage increases which can overheat

the ballast.

To protect against this it is recommended that you put a 3 amp

in-line fuse on the positive input wire going to the ballast.

If the battery voltage drops too low, the fuse will blow before the

ballast can over-amp itself while trying to keep the tube running.
