Hi, James,

The ballast is in fact a transformer to drive a fluorescent-based lamp. Most LED lamps accept AC power supply from a magnetic ballast. Before installation, you must read the power input specification of the circular LED lamp carefully. If the lamp runs strictly on DC power input, you must connect it to a LED driver. However if circular LED lamp works with main voltage 110~240V AC, you can opt to remove the ballast and run the lamp directly on 240V power supply.

With a magnetic ballast in line, the LED lamp will consume its own wattage plus about 2-3 watt from the magnetic ballast. By removing the ballast, you can save 2-3 watt for the lamp.

Be aware of electronic ballasts for fluorescent/CFL lamp, these are not compatible with LED lamp as its inbuilt start will induce a high starting voltage which will damage LED lamps.

Collins

hi collins

Would like to raise a query here on general electrical stuffs. My technical jargon on electrical stuffs no good, please bear with me

===========================================================

What is a ballast ?

LED used a separate transformer power source which works with the LED lights. Eg If LED lights is 15W, then the transformer must be appropriate to support it

Old HDB building use ballast and attached to hard ceiling wall especially using circular lights.

My ballast shows 36(40) watt at the ceiling.

If i buy a 17W led to replace traditional cicular lights (they have the same shape, only that it is led) - will this cause problems ?

Questions

1. What will be the consumption of power then ? 17W or the ballast Watt ?

just to add another good point of having led lights - which most of us tend to overlook.

If using normal lights, when i switch on the lights, the lights may take 2-3 second before it is fully light-up. You realized this when this is flickering to charge-up.

Imagine switching on a pc, you realized that as technology improves, we tends to take it for granted that it must boot up fast or shutdown fast (to go home quickly). any seconds delay, humans tend to get agitated.

Yesterday i fixed a circular led lights on one of my rooms and when i switch it on, room get light up instantly ! I compared with another room with normal-lights which the latter has a 2-3 seconds delay.

Technology aside, but human being like me cannot wait for that 2-3 seconds.

Go for LED lights if you can.

Hi Collin, my family is currently in the process of renovating our EM. We are planning to have all the lighting in our place in the form of LED downlights. This place our ID brought us to quoted us $198 for one 6" square LED downlight. As we have no knowledge about lights, when asked about brand and model, they just said it's their own brand using Korean chip. Hoping I can get more advice here and also understand more about your product range.
