Helvar EL1X18w HF elettronic ballast

Helvar EL1X18w HF is a high-frequency electronic ballast designed to power a single 18W neon discharge light source. Built with a steel casing, the unit features compact dimensions — 280 mm in length, 30 mm in width, and 28 mm in depth — making it suitable for installation inside ceiling fixtures and luminaires equipped with fluorescent tubes. The high-frequency electronic system ensures silent and efficient operation, eliminating the flickering typically associated with conventional electromagnetic ballasts.

The Helvar EL1X18w HF ballast operates at an input voltage of 220–240 V, making it fully compatible with standard European electrical systems. The IP20 protection rating makes it suitable for dry indoor environments. With an estimated lifespan of up to 50,000 hours and an energy efficiency class of A2, it represents a reliable and energy-conscious solution for replacing or restoring existing lighting fixtures fitted with 18W T8 fluorescent tubes. The 270 mm fixing length ensures stable and precise mounting within the lamp compartment.
