Using the latest technology is self-evident in the development and
production of technical luminaires. That is why PERFORMANCE IN LIGHTING
only uses electromechanical and electronic components from well-known
manufacturers, reflecting the latest technology and tested by appropriate
independent testing institutes such as the VDE testing and certification
institute.
HF ballast
Electronic ballasts offer more economy and higher operational reliability
compared to inductive ballasts (IBs).
HF ballast/converter DALI dimmable
DALI (digital addressable lighting interface) was developed to achieve a
uniform, cross-manufacturer standard that improves on the disadvantages
of the 1-10 V industry standard without reaching the degree of complexity
of a building bus system. PERFORMANCE IN LIGHTING is a member of
DALI AG. The industry agreed on the DALI standard, which with IEC 929 is
currently in the international standardisation procedure.
This guarantees worldwide interchangeability of the components without
manufacturer-specific or national incompatibilities.
The most important advantages are a reverse polarity-protected two-wire
line, direct addressability, compact commands, error reporting and defined
brightness values that are not influenced by a voltage drop in the control
line. Furthermore, DALI can be incorporated in a higher-level building
system.
Operating devices
ADVANTAGES:
• Low energy consumption and heat generation
• Lowering of maintenance and operating costs
• Lamps start without irritating flickering and noise generation
and need no additional starter and no compensation
• Elimination of so-called cathode flickering, even at
low temperatures
• Increased visual comfort
• Prevention of stroboscopic effect in conjunction with rotating
machinery
• Higher useful lifetime of lamps (up to 50%)
• Automatic shutoff at end of lamp lifetime as well as
independent recognition of correct illuminant
• Low weight
In case of defect the EB switches off automatically and the fire protection
behaviour is improved through the lower operating temperature. Most EBs
can also be run optionally on direct or alternating current.
The permits the use of EB luminaires together with auxiliary battery power
supplies. They are therefore also suitable for emergency lighting according
to DIN EN 50172.

HF ballast/converter dimmable
Dimmable HF ballasts allow the luminous flux of fluorescent lamps to
be regulated. For this purpose PERFORMANCE IN LIGHTING supplies
dimmable EBs both with the analogue 1 – 10 V DC interface and with the
DALI interface. These procedures, sometimes via additional control devices,
open up manifold possibilities for controlling the amount of light. Starting
with key control, hand control devices or reverse phase control dimmers,
through interfaces for motion sensors, infrared remote controls and light
sensors, to modern energy management systems with PC and instabus
technology or EIB and LON.
HF ballast/converter analogue dimmable (1-10 V)
The currently most widespread possibility of controlling the brightness
of fluorescent lamps is the 1-10 V interface. The high level of awareness
contrasts among other things with a fall in brightness level with long
cables, lack of reverse polarity protection in the control line and limitation
to group addressing. Apart from this, the majority of ballasts only permit a
dimming level of up to 10% (at 1 volt).

Illuminants
Innovative illuminants are a tradition at PERFORMANCE IN LIGHTING.
Continuous development and modern manufacturing techniques have
led to great advances in the compactness and economic viability of
illuminants. In PERFORMANCE IN LIGHTING luminaires the results of this
development find a practical application through the use of the latest
lighting technology. Detailed information can be found in the illuminant
matrix.
