15 DC Fluorescent Ballasts

15 DC Fluorescent Ballasts

12 , 24 & 48 volt dc fluorescent ballasts by

Light It Technologies and IOTA Engineering.

We stock the full line from both manufacturers.

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.

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

Simple to wire and made in the USA.

or 48 volts d.c. please click on the following link:

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" sine-wave type with

Radio Frequency Interference suppression.

Both the Light It Technologies and the IOTA 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

Light It Technologies / Montana Light ballasts

and on the IOTA 9 and 13 watt ballasts on this page

12 volt dc ballast for compact fluorescent lamps

LIT Model # SH12-13 ballast - in 12 or 24 or 48 volt d.c.

LIT ballasts have built-in polarity protection to prevent damage

if the d.c. input wires are connected backwards.

With this ballast and the proper socket, you can convert an existing fixture

to use SE, DE or TE compact fluorescent tubes up to 13 watts.

It also works well with straight (standard linear) tubes.

These are often used with U.V. sterilization tubes.

Input voltage range: 10.5 to 14.5 volts d.c. for the 12 volt model

Input current: 1.1 amps

Will operate down to -30 degrees F.

Dimensions: app. 2" wide by 1-7/8" front to back and 1" high

PRICE: 12 volt or 24 volt ballast for up to 13 watt tubes

( SH - 13 WATTS ) $ 22.00 each

Quantity pricing is ONLY available using the following shopping cart.

1 to 4 pieces of the same voltage are $ 22.00 each

12 volt d.c. ballast for fluorescent lamps 32 watt

LIT Model # SH12 - 18/32 ballast - in 12 or 24 volt d.c.

This ballast allows you to convert an existing fixture or make a fixture that

uses 18 to 32 watt fluorescent tubes.

Will even work with a 40 watt tube but is best with 18 to 32 watt tubes.

Many people use these to convert shop lighting or fancy ceiling lighting

fixtures (like boxed in fluorescent lamps) to operate from 12 volts d.c.

Input voltage range: 11.5 to 14.5 volts d.c. in the 12 volt model.

Input current: 1.5 to 2.2 amps.

Will operate down to -30 degrees F.

Dimensions: app. 3" long by 1-3/4" front to back and 1-1/4" high.

PRICE: 12 or 24 volt ballast ( SH - 18/32 WATTS ) $ 32.00 each

Quantity pricing is ONLY available using the following shopping cart.

1 to 4 pieces of the same voltage are $ 32.00 each

5 to 9 pieces of the same voltage are $ 30.00 each

IOTA Engineering dc ballasts

Some of the low watt IOTA ballasts are also available in an

"R" small can configuration.

These have the same electrical specifications as the standard

ballast, just in a smaller package.

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 11 in stock.
