Overview
The Sylvania LU1000/SUPER5-KIT (part number 47659) is a magnetic core and coil ballast kit engineered to operate 1000W LU1000 high-pressure sodium lamps. This 5-tap design accommodates multiple input voltages—120, 208, 240, 277, and 480V—making it suitable for a wide range of industrial and commercial lighting installations. The unit uses pulse ignitor starting technology for reliable lamp ignition across operating conditions.
