Recently, in the investigation of Quanzhou Jinhong Photoelectric Technology Co., LTD., the company’s technicians found a worrying problem of the use of gold halide lamp ballasts in fishing vessels. This discovery reveals the significant impact that old ballasts can have on the overall performance and service life of these important lighting fixtures.
During our routine visit to the fishing boat, the company’s after-sales service staff noticed that a vessel operating a light purse Seine had been using 1000w ballast for more than a decade. Aware of the potential risks posed by aging equipment, technicians immediately tested these old ballasts. To their dismay, inspections showed that some of these old ballasts deteriorated significantly over time, resulting in excessive current output increases.
Based on the findings, the initially specified 1000W ballast power has been upgraded to a staggering 1500W output, significantly exceeding the recommended limits. This unforeseen increase not only jeopardizes the performance of fishing lights, but also poses a serious threat to their overall service life. For example: fishing lights are subject to excess current input for a long time, and the two bottom ends of the lamp will be black in about 300 hours. At around 600 hours the whole tube will slowly turn black. This affects the light efficiency of the bulb. It affects the fishing output of fishing vessels at night.
Quanzhou Jinhong Optoelectronic Technology Co., Ltd. has been at the forefront of metal halide fishing light production and innovation. Knowing that outdated components put fishermen and their valuable catch at risk, the company stressed the need for regular maintenance and updates.
With advances in technology and the expertise of Quanzhou Jinhong Optoelectronic Technology Co., LTD., fishermen can be confident that their metal halide fishing lamps are equipped with state-of-the-art ballasts that meet the highest quality standards. By upgrading to their latest products, fishing boat operators can ensure that their lighting systems are operating at optimal efficiency, guaranteeing their safety and maximizing the life of their fishing lights.
