110-277V Universal Metal Electronic Ballast for SOX 180W Low Pressure Sodium (LPS) Lamps

The Glow Object Electronic Ballast is an all-in-one driver designed for 180W Low Pressure Sodium (LPS) lamps with a B22/BY22d bayonet base. No external transformer or ignitor required — connect directly to your SOX lamp and power source for immediate operation. Universal voltage input (110–277V) makes it compatible with both North American and international electrical systems. Starts 5x faster than traditional magnetic ballasts.

Street & Outdoor Lighting

Powers monochromatic amber sodium lamps for low-glare outdoor environments including roads, street lighting infrastructure, parking areas, pathways, bridges, tunnel lighting, coastal facilities, seaport installations, HOA community lighting, and hotel pathway applications. The narrow blue-free spectrum delivers uniform illumination where visual comfort and reduced glare are preferred over high-intensity point source lighting.

Darkroom & Specialty Photography

Suitable for film developing darkrooms, safelight applications, photography studios, and lab environments requiring stable monochromatic amber illumination. Provides consistent power output for controlled low-light working conditions.

Astronomy & Dark Sky Environments

Commonly used in observatory surroundings, backyard astronomy setups, and low light pollution areas. Compatible with dark sky practices — the narrow 589nm sodium spectrum minimizes upward light spill and preserves nighttime sky visibility in coastal and rural regions.

Ambient & Low Stimulation Lighting

Powers soft room light applications where warm low-glare illumination is preferred: meditation spaces, bedrooms, studios, hallways, corridors, and controlled visual environments for calm evening use and wind-down routines.

Creative & Atmosphere Use

Frequently used for Halloween setups, sci-fi themed rooms, monochrome environments, cinematic stage lighting, retro industrial aesthetics, movie props, photography sets, and immersive art installations. The single-color sodium glow creates a distinct visual atmosphere not achievable with LED or filtered lighting systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this ballast require a separate transformer or ignitor?

No. This is an all-in-one electronic ballast. No external transformer or ignitor is required — it powers the SOX lamp directly.

Which lamps is this ballast compatible with?

Designed for 180W Low Pressure Sodium lamps with a B22/BY22d bayonet base, including SOX 180W type lamps. Also compatible with similar 180W LPS lamps.

What voltage does this ballast support?

Universal input: 110–277V AC, 50/60Hz. Compatible with standard North American and international electrical systems without a voltage converter.

Can this ballast be used outdoors?

Yes. The metal housing is suitable for outdoor and industrial installations. Ensure the fixture provides appropriate weatherproofing for your specific environment.

Is this ballast dimmable?

No. This ballast operates at fixed output and does not support dimming.
