The type of ballast is an convertor that may contain igniting and stabilising elements for operation of a discharge lamp at d.c. or at a frequency that can deviate from the supply frequency. The lamps associated with the ballast are specified in EN 60188 (High pressure mercury vapour lamps), EN 60192 (Low pressure sodium vapour lamps), EN 60662 (High pressure sodium vapour lamps), EN 61167 (Metal halide lamps) and else for general purpose lighting.
