Hi All, :)
Just wonderin'... why can't one use a capacitor instead of an electromagnetic choke as current limiting ballast for gas lamps? A capacitor has very little power loss as core losses are not present. The dielectric losses would definitely much less than power loss in magnetic core of an electromagnetic ballast.
This way we would get very efficient & energy saving lighting systems!...what say?
