When you flip the switch to turn on a flourescent or high intensity discharge (HID) lamp a ballast is at work, behind the scenes, to start the lamp and regulate the flow of energy as long as the lamp is on. They are also what allow you to dim or brighten the lights.

A key part of any lighting upgrade project seeking to maximize energy efficiency is efficient ballasts. In addition to using energy more efficiently, a quality ballast can do things like extend lamp life, reduce harmonic distortion, and provide consistent light levels.
