S.I.P. (Superimposed) ignitors provide the high-voltage pulse (typically 1 – 5KV) needed to start SON (High-Pressure Sodium) and metal halide lamps, operating independently of the ballast. They are designed for close proximity to the lamp (< 2m) and are crucial for igniting HID lamps where the open-circuit voltage is insufficient.

Key Aspects of SIP Ignitors for SON/Metal Halide Lamps

Superimposed Technology: Unlike impulse ignitors, SIP ignitors superimpose the ignition voltage on top of the ballast operating voltage, ensuring a reliable strike.

Operation: The ignitor produces a short, high-voltage pulse ( 1 – 5 micro seconds ) to initiate the arc, which is essential for pulse-start metal halide bulbs and all SON lamps.

Distance Limitations: Due to the high voltage, SIP ignitors are usually positioned within of the lamp to avoid damaging insulation.

Compatibility: They are compatible with 35W to 2000W lamps, with specific models catering to 380 – 440V supplies.

Timer Versions: Many ignitors feature electronic timers that cut off the ignition pulse after a set time if the lamp fails to start, protecting the ballast from overheating.

Common Manufacturers: Common brands include Venture Lighting & Helvar.
