Remote Mounting

The ballast to lamp (BTL) distance that standard metal halide ballasts and lamps can be separated is limited by the voltage drop of the wire which is determined by the wire size and length per the table below.

With pulse start metal halide and high pressure sodium ballasts, remote mounting capability is limited by the wire voltage drop and the use of standard ignitors as the ignitor pulse attenuates as the wire length increases. Remote mounting is possible by replacing the standard ignitor with the remote superimposed ignitor per the table below.
