Default Re: Magnetic vs. Electronic ballasts and power supplies
1. Tim, you seemed to have neglected the criterion that inspired the debate: electronic power supplies are usually auto-ranging regarding input voltage.
2. I don't necessarily agree with you that magnetic ballasts are more durable than electronic ones.
3. I seriously doubt I would ever specify a fixture due to its ballast either way. There are pros and cons to each, and very few fixture manufacturers offer the user a choice.
4. Which do the most popular fixtures: VL3x00, 2x00; MAC2000, 700; Showgun; Robe; Coemar; Elation; use?
