APPENDIX 6A. HID BALLAST AND FIXTURE PRICES

6A.1 INTRODUCTION 

This appendix presents the methodology the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) followed 

in developing manufacturer selling prices (MSPs) for the high-intensity discharge (HID) ballasts 

and fixtures considered in this rulemaking. DOE developed prices for HID ballasts and fixtures 

because DOE recognizes that customers may be required to purchase a new ballast and fixture to 

accommodate higher efficacy HID lamps. DOE applies markups (chapter 7) to these MSPs to 

develop the end-user prices that are used as inputs in the life-cycle cost (LCC; chapter 9) analysis 

and the national impact analysis (NIA; chapter 11). 

6A.2 METHODOLOGY 

When purchasing a more efficacious lighting system, DOE acknowledges that a customer 

may be required to purchase a new ballast and fixture to accommodate the higher-efficacy lamp. 

Thus, DOE also developed prices for HID ballasts and fixtures. For these components, DOE 

developed MSPs and applied markups instead of determining end-user prices directly because 

MSP data for metal halide ballasts and fixtures was already available from the energy 

conservation standards rulemaking for metal halide lamp fixtures (MHLF). 

Using data from the MHLF rulemaking,1feedback from manufacturer interviews, and 

additional teardowns conducted for this rulemaking, DOE developed prices for the representative 

ballasts and fixtures considered in the engineering analysis. The full cost of production is broken 

down into two main costs: the manufacturer production cost (MPC) and the non-production cost. 

To develop prices, DOE first conducted teardowns to calculate the MPC. The MPC is comprised 

of the total cost of materials, labor, and direct overhead used to manufacture the equipment. DOE 

then calculated a manufacturer markup to estimate the non-production costs and profit associated 

with these components. DOE multiplied the MPC by the manufacturer markup to calculate the 

MSP for each ballast and fixture. The MSP represents the price at which a manufacturer sells a 

product to the next entity in the distribution channel. As discussed in chapter 9, DOE applied 

further markups to each MSP to calculate an appropriate end-user price. The following sections 

discuss the methodology DOE used to develop MSPs for HID ballasts and fixtures. 

6A.2.1 Manufacturer Production Cost 

Figure 6A.2.1 shows the general breakdown of costs and profit associated with 

manufacturing and selling equipment. The full cost of production is broken down into two main 

costs: the manufacturer production cost and the non-production cost. The MPC is comprised of 

direct labor, direct material, and overhead costs. The direct labor costs include fabrication and 

assembly labor. The non-production cost plus profits is equal to the manufacturer markup.

6A.2.1.1 Teardowns 

 To develop MPCs for HID ballasts and fixtures, DOE utilized data from the 

preliminary analysis of the metal halide lamp fixture standards rulemaking. The MHLF 

rulemaking developed MPCs for several metal halide (MH) ballasts and fixtures that shared 

characteristics and wattages with units analyzed in this rulemaking. MPCs were developed by 

conducting teardowns, an analysis in which DOE creates a bill of materials included in the 

ballast and an estimate of the direct labor required to assemble and test the finished product. 

There were several metal halide systems analyzed in this rulemaking that were not directly 

analyzed in the MHLF rulemaking. To derive MPCs for the MH lamp fixtures at the additional 

wattages, DOE performed additional teardowns on commercially available fixtures. Table

teardowns.

All teardown results included the direct material estimates, as well as the direct labor 

costs associated with the assembly of the HID ballasts and fixtures. Because the materials 

involved in ballast and fixture manufacturing are highly correlated to commodity pricing, DOE 

used five year average material prices from 2006 to 2010 when possible. Separate labor rates 

were used for components that required manual insertion versus those that were automated. 

During manufacturer interviews, DOE learned that HID ballasts are typically manufactured in 

Mexico and China and that HID fixtures are typically manufactured in the United States, so DOE 

applied the appropriate labor rates for the HID ballast and fixture teardowns respectively. 
6A-3

The teardown results did not include overhead estimates. Overhead includes indirect 

material and labor costs, maintenance, depreciation, taxes, and insurance related to assets. To 

calculate overhead, DOE utilized information available in the recent standards rulemaking for 

fluorescent lamp ballasts.2 In that rulemaking, DOE used financial data to estimate the overhead 

cost by calculating it as a percentage of the MPC. DOE estimated the depreciation cost from a 

representative electronics fabrication company’s U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 

(SEC) 10-K, estimating it to be approximately 2.6 percent of the cost of goods sold, or the MPC. 

To determine the material and labor percentage, DOE marked down aggregated confidential 

MSPs to an MPC using the manufacturer markup. Then, DOE computed the ratio of aggregated 

teardown-sourced material and labor costs to the manufacturer markdown-sourced MPC. DOE 

found the material and labor costs to be approximately 93.8 percent of the MPC. DOE then 

subtracted the materials and labor and depreciation percentages from 100 percent to back out the 

remainder of overhead as a percentage of MPC. Overhead was estimated to be 3.6 percent of the 

MPC, which is reasonable as electronics manufacturing generally has low overhead costs. DOE 

found overhead and depreciation to be about 6.2 percent of the MPC or 6.6 percent of the 

material and labor costs. The 6.6 percent factor was then used to mark up the material and labor 

costs contained in the teardown results to the MPC. Because HID ballasts are produced by many 

of the same manufacturers as fluorescent ballasts and should have a similar material and labor 

percentage of the overall MPC, DOE used the same factor to represent overhead when 

developing MPCs in this rulemaking. 

If a teardown was not conducted for a metal halide ballast at an analyzed wattage, DOE 

modeled the MPCs using a cost model. The model estimated prices by using ballast weight and 

dimension inputs from manufacturer specification sheets, and material assumptions for the steel 

grade and wire materials based on manufacturer feedback. If a teardown was not conducted for 

metal halide fixture at an analyzed wattage, DOE estimated the price based on the wattageversus-price relationship for similar fixtures. 

6A.2.1.2 High Pressure Sodium and Mercury Vapor Technology 

DOE did not perform teardowns for high-pressure sodium (HPS) and mercury vapor 

(MV) ballasts and fixtures. Instead, for ballasts, DOE utilized blue book prices to determine the 

appropriate costs of HPS and MV technology. Using the teardown-sourced MPCs described in 

the previous section, DOE calculated an average discount factor between the MPCs and bluebook prices for the analyzed MH ballast models. DOE then applied this discount factor to the 

most recent blue book prices of the analyzed HPS and MV ballast models. 

For fixtures, manufacturers provided feedback that MH lamp fixtures are similar in 

material makeup and construction to HPS and MV fixtures. Because of this, fixture 

manufacturers recommended that the MPCs for MH lamp fixtures could be used as the MPCs for 

HPS and MV fixtures if used in the same applications and at the same wattages. DOE agreed and 

reviewed the typical applications in which HPS and MV are used. 

DOE found that MV fixtures are generally used in similar applications as MH lamp 

fixtures. Therefore, DOE assumed that MV fixture MPCs were the same as MH lamp fixture

MPCs at the same wattage. HPS fixtures, however, are used in outdoor applications more 

frequently than MH lamp fixtures. Manufacturers provided feedback on the specific outdoor 

applications of HPS fixtures at each wattage. DOE used this feedback to calculate an average 

MPC for MH lamp fixtures that are specified for outdoor use at the analyzed wattages and used 

this MPC to represent the price of an HPS fixture. 

6A.2.1.3 Metal Halide Ballast and Fixture Cost Adders 

When purchasing a more efficacious lighting system, the customer may be required to 

purchase a new ballast and fixture to accommodate the higher-efficacy lamp. When the moreefficacious lamp is a ceramic metal halide (CMH) lamp, DOE assumed these lamps would be 

paired with an electronic ballast. DOE considered whether the fixture cost differs depending on 

whether or not it is used with an electronic ballast, and if the electronic ballast itself required any 

modification to provide equivalent functionality to a magnetic ballast. While DOE found that 

each fixture type was capable of physically containing either a magnetic or electronic ballast, 

DOE found three changes required for a fixture to accommodate an electronic ballast rather than 

a magnetic ballast. These changes only apply to metal halide systems because electronic ballasts 

are not used with HPS and MV lamps. In addition, DOE determined that the cost adders are 

different depending on whether or not the fixture will be used in indoor versus outdoor locations. 

This section describes the rationale and cost values associated with these design changes. 

Design Changes 

The first requirement is that electronic ballasts are able to withstand a voltage transient of 

up to 10 kilovolts (kV), based on American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard 

C62.41.1-2002 for area and roadway lighting in the utility division and ANSI C82.14-2006 for 

low-frequency square wave electronic ballasts. ANSI C62.41.1-2002 serves as the guideline to 

manufacturers for the classification of surge protection definitions and equipment. ANSI C82.14-

2006 specifies the requirement of ballasts in roadway applications to be designed with a transient 

insulation level of 10 kV when the maximum rated supply voltage exceeds 600 V. An inline 

surge protection device external to the ballast, also called a metal oxide varistor (MOV) is 

required for electronic ballasts in outdoor fixtures. The MOV is used to clamp off the circuit if 

the energy surge exceeds 10 kV. A portion of commercially available electronic ballasts have 10 

kV surge protection built in, but most electronic ballasts are rated for 6 kV voltage spikes. Thus, 

DOE applied incremental costs for transient protection in outdoor locations, further discussed 

later in this section. 

The second requirement relates to thermal management. Generally, electronic ballasts are 

more vulnerable than magnetic ballasts to high ambient temperatures. In order to correct for this 

difference, fixtures housing electronic ballasts would need to be designed differently to account 

for thermal management in both indoor and outdoor applications. Electronic ballasts are more 

efficient than magnetic ballasts, and therefore generate less heat and are meant to run at cooler 

temperatures. However, electronic ballasts generally cannot operate at temperatures exceeding 

90oC, while magnetic ballasts can operate at temperatures as high as 150oC. This temperature 

limit makes it impossible to place electronic ballasts in a fixture in the traditional location near 

the lamp. Additionally, these ballasts use a power foldback feature to manage the temperature of 
6A-5

the ballast and prevent damage to the ballast in extreme high heat conditions. The sensitivity of 

electronics to thermal conditions can involve a different fixture or ballast design such as larger 

ballast housing, additional potting material to create adequate thermal contact between the ballast 

and fixture, thermal shields, or fixture venting to sink the heat outside of the fixture. Thus, DOE 

applied incremental costs to the fixture for electronic ballast thermal management is discussed 

later in this section. 

The third requirement is for ballasts to include 120 V auxiliary power functionality. This 

input is typically used for an emergency incandescent lamp that operates only after a temporary 

loss of power while the metal halide lamp is still too hot to restart. These taps are primarily used 

in indoor applications and because this auxiliary tap is primarily required for emergency lighting 

purposes, they are only needed in about one out of every ten indoor lamp fixtures. A 120 V tap is 

easily incorporated in to a magnetic ballast due to its traditional core and coil design, and incurs 

a negligible cost increment. Electronic ballasts, though, require modification to add this 120 V 

auxiliary power functionality. The incremental cost for this 120 V auxiliary power functionality 

is discussed later in this section. 

Cost Adders 

DOE applied several cost adders to the fixture and electronic ballast MPCs based on 

indoor or outdoor application.3 While this appendix presents indoor and outdoor ballast and 

fixture MSPs separately, subsequent analyses including the life-cycle cost analysis and national 

impact analysis use a weighted average of the two prices to represent the end-user price at each 

candidate standard level (CSL). This aggregation of the two prices is discussed in chapter 9 of 

the interim TSD. 

Because of the vulnerability of electronic ballasts to high temperatures, DOE applied a 20 

percent fixture cost adder to all fixtures with electronic ballasts to account for thermal 

management based on manufacturer input and teardown-sourced data. In aggregate, 

manufacturers indicated a 20 percent increase in fixture MPC is associated with thermal 

management. Additionally, DOE conducted teardown analyses of metal halide lamp fixtures. 

Through analysis of pairs of fixtures designed for electronic ballasts and fixtures designed for 

comparable magnetic ballasts, DOE also found an approximately 20 percent increase in fixture 

MPCs to include thermal management for electronic ballasts. Accordingly, both indoor and 

outdoor metal halide lamp fixtures shipped with electronic ballasts are assessed a 20 percent 

adder to the fixture MPCs. 

In order to be reliable in outdoor applications that are more prone to voltage surges, DOE 

applied a fixture cost adder to outdoor electronic fixtures. Based on an MSP of $30 determined 

from a review of selling prices from transient suppression manufacturers, DOE developed a cost 

adder of $18.99 ($30 selling price divided by the fixture manufacturer markup) for 10 kilovolts 

(kV) inline surge protection for electronic ballasts, as most electronic ballasts do not have this 

feature built-in. As such, DOE applies this adder to the fixture MPC for fixtures that include 

electronic ballasts in outdoor applications.

 DOE conducted teardowns of fixtures designed for magnetic ballasts. DOE applied cost adders to the MPC of 

these magnetically ballasted fixtures to estimate the cost of an electronically ballasted fixture of the same wattage. 
6A-6

 Lastly, DOE found that about 10 percent of indoor fixtures require 120 volt auxiliary 

power functionality for use when emergency lighting is needed and the metal halide lamp is still 

too hot to be restarted. Using a combination of manufacturer information and market research, 

DOE determined that the cost of adding this auxiliary functionality to magnetic ballasts is so 

small that no incremental cost was applied to price models. Through the same method, DOE 

concluded that a representative value for electronic ballasts to incorporate this auxiliary 

functionality is $7.50. Because this functionality is only needed for 10 percent of indoor lampballast-fixture systems, a cost adder of $0.75 is assessed per indoor electronic ballast. These 

three cost adders are summarized in Table 6A.2.2 below.

6A.2.2 Manufacturer Markup 

More efficient ballast and fixture technologies typically have higher production costs 

than existing ballasts and fixtures. To meet new energy conservation standards, manufacturers 

often must introduce design changes to their existing equipment or discontinue less efficient 

equipment, resulting in standards-compliant equipment with higher costs. Depending on the 

competitive environment for the particular equipment types, some or all of the increased 

production costs can be “passed on” from manufacturers to customers in the form of higher 

purchase prices. As production costs increase, manufacturers also typically incur additional 

overhead at the factory and corporate levels. The MSP must cover both of these additional 

contributions to overhead if a company is to maintain its current level of profitability. 

As discussed previously, overhead costs within the DOE model are a function of 

investments, material costs, labor costs, or total costs, depending on the overhead category. 

Together, materials, labor, and factory overhead comprise the manufacturer production cost. 

DOE applies another multiplier to the manufacturer production cost to account for corporate 

non-production costs and profit. This latter multiplier, the manufacturer markup, is the focus of 

this section. 

DOE calculated the HID ballast MSP for ballasts sold directly to fixture manufacturers 

for use in new fixtures by multiplying the ballast MPC by a ballast-to-fixture manufacturer 

markup. DOE then used this value to calculate the MSP for HID fixtures (packaged with a 

ballast) by adding the ballast (for use in new fixtures) MSP to the fixture MPC, and then 

applying the fixture manufacturer markup to that sum. DOE also calculated the MSP for HID 

ballasts sold into distribution as replacement ballasts by multiplying the MPC by the calculated 

replacement ballast manufacturer markup to determine the replacement ballast MSP. In general, 

the manufacturer markups should ensure that the MSP of the equipment is high enough to 
6A-7

recover the full cost (i.e., production and non-production costs), and yield a satisfactory profit. 

The following paragraphs discuss the methodology for developing this markup in more detail. 

Publicly-owned companies are required by law to disclose financial information on a 

regular basis by filing different forms with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). 

The SEC form 10-K, filed by companies on an annual basis, provides a comprehensive overview 

of the company’s business and financial conditions. Relevant information in the 10-K reports 

includes the company’s revenues and direct and indirect costs. To derive the manufacturer 

markup, DOE used 10-K reports from publicly-owned ballast or fixture manufacturing 

companies and inputs from manufacturer interviews. The financial figures necessary for 

calculating the manufacturer markup are net sales, costs of sales, and gross profit. The income 

statement section of the 10-K reports often reports these figures. DOE used averages of the 

financial figures spanning from 2002 to 2008 to calculate the manufacturer markup for ballasts 

and from 2000 to 2009 to calculate the manufacturer markup for fixtures. 

DOE used the following equations to calculate the gross profit and gross profit margins: 

Equation 6A.2-1 

Gross Profit ($) = Net Sales – Cost of Sales 

Equation 6A.2-2 

 

 

Table 6A.2.3 contains the calculated gross profit margins for four sample ballast 

manufacturers. Table 6A.2.4 contains the calculated gross profit margins for six sample fixture 

manufacturers.

6A-8

To calculate the time-averaged gross profit margin for each firm, DOE first summed the 

gross profit for all the years and then divided the result by the sum of the net sales for those 

years. Each manufacturer’s markup was calculated as: 

Equation 6A.2-3 

 

 

 

 

Table 6A.2.5 shows the ballast manufacturer markups, and Table 6A.2.6 shows the 

fixture manufacturer markups using this method.

Manufacturer F 2.00

Average 1.48

DOE calculated the average ballast manufacturer markup to be 1.50, and the average 

fixture manufacturer markup to be 1.48 based on the estimated market share of each 

manufacturer. In other words, on average, HID ballast manufacturers sell their products to the 

next party in the distribution channel at 50 percent above the manufacturer production cost, and 

HID fixture manufacturers sell their equipment at 48 percent above the manufacturing 

production cost. 

 Although all publicly-owned companies file 10-K reports, the financial information 

summarized therein is not usually exclusive to the HID ballast and fixture portion of their 

business. It can include financial information from other equipment sectors, whose margins 

could be quite different from those of the HID ballast and fixture industries. DOE interviewed 

the lighting division of manufacturers and received input to more-accurately estimate actual 

manufacturer markup values. 

 
6A-9

Considering the information provided in Table 6A.2.5, Table 6A.2.6, and manufacturer 

feedback, DOE determined that a manufacturer markup of approximately 1.47 was appropriate 

for HID ballasts sold to fixture manufacturers, a manufacturer markup of approximately 1.60 

was appropriate for HID ballasts sold to distributors (replacement ballasts), and a manufacturer 

markup of 1.58 was appropriate for HID fixtures. DOE applied these multipliers to MPCs to 

determine the MSPs of ballasts and fixtures in this rulemaking.

6A.3 RESULTS

fixtures4considered in this rulemaking.
