Compatability
Starcoat™ T5 - Compatability

One of the key requirements identified during customer interviews was the need to produce a range of lamps with proven compatibility on a wide range of ballasts. Compatibility is greatly affected by how a lamp is operated by a ballast. In particular we need to look at the lamp cathode resistance and how it matches the output from the ballast. Companies that produce both lamp and ballasts, optimise both components together. For example here we see brand X lamps optimised with brand X ballasts, and Brand Y lamps optimised on brand Y ballasts. Independent ballast manufacturers have pitched their ballast output, in between these two points, thus achieving satisfactory performance on both brands X & Y lamps. To ensure Starcoat T5 was universally optimised, GE also set its cathode resistance between these two points. This gives Starcoat T5 universal compatibility and optimal performance on all ballasts including brands X & Y.
