LBL Lighting outdoor wall sconce ballast
I would like to order LBL Lighting EKO 18/G Outdoor Wall Sconce / Ceiling Light - EKO-18-G 13W black compact fluorescent model. I’m not sure what a ballast is and would like to ask for the differencee between a magnetic and an electronic ballast?
Answer: The magnetic ballast has a copper coil so there is less chance of buzzing. The electronic ballast may buzz after some time. Also, if you would like to apply a dimmer then it is recommended to go with a magnetic because electronic dimmers are much pricier.
We found a website that has some pretty good explanations of the basics between electronic and magnetic ballasts. http://www.ace-ballast.com/articles/?id=Frequently_Asked_Ballast_Questions
