Fluorescent dimming allows significant energy savings wherever fluorescent is already used: industrial, commercial, institutional and residential.

Moreover, dimming offers superior aesthetics for meeting rooms or living rooms.

High-voltage ICs form an integral part of electronic ballasts, and IR has a product offering to match your requirements:

• Low diming levels with stable lamp arc
• Reduced or no lamp flash at low dimming level ignition
• Handle all lamp types
• High performance with easy design
• Very low component count

International Rectifier ICs are designed to meet the ballast load requirements for most applications, from real life to abnormal conditions.

Numerous reference designs, including industry-unique reference designs, as well as the IR Ballast Design Assistant (BDA) software, help speed up ballast development time.
