Halogen ballasted mercury lamp startup
Here is the 250W halogen ballasted mercury lamp immediately after switch on. Once the arc stabilised, my energy monitor showed at 241V, the lamp was pulling 376W and 1.56A with a power factor of 1.00

Haven't run ours up in a while, must fish them out.

A tip for you, when entering the description, put an empty line at the very start by pressing Enter before typing any text. This will give some space between the title and the description.

Good tip, thanks Smile
Power Factor of 1 isn't too surprising when it's just the halogen running. But I was still impressed with how long it stayed there
