‘‘(57) The term ‘ballast’ means a device used 
with an electric discharge lamp to obtain necessary 
circuit conditions (voltage, current, and waveform) 
for starting and operating. 
‘‘(58) The term ‘metal halide lamp’ means a 
high intensity discharge lamp in which the major 
portion of the light is produced by radiation of metal 
halides and their products of dissociation, possibly in 
combination with metallic vapors. 
‘‘(59) The term ‘metal halide lamp fixture’ 
means a light fixture for general lighting application 
designed to be operated with a metal halide lamp 
and a ballast for a metal halide lamp. 
‘‘(60) The term ‘metal halide ballast’ means a 
ballast used to start and operate metal halide lamps. 
‘‘(61) The term ‘pulse-start metal halide bal-
last’ means an electronic or electromagnetic ballast 
that starts a pulse start metal halide lamp with high 
voltage pulses. Lamps are started by first providing 
a high voltage pulse for ionization of the gas to
621 
produce a glow discharge. To complete the starting 
process, power is provided by the ballast to sustain 
the discharge through the glow-to-arc transition. 
‘‘(62) The term ‘probe-start metal halide bal-
last’ means a ballast that starts a probe start metal 
halide lamp which contains a third starting electrode 
(probe) in the arc tube. This ballast does not gen-
erally contain an igniter and instead starts lamps 
with high ballast open circuit voltage. 
‘‘(63) The term ‘electronic ballast’ means a de-
vice that uses semiconductors as the primary means 
to control lamp starting and operation. 
‘‘(64) The term ‘general lighting application’ 
means lighting that provides an interior or exterior

‘‘(65) The term ‘ballast efficiency’ for a high in-
tensity discharge fixture means the efficiency of a 
lamp and ballast combination, expressed as a per-
centage, and calculated by Efficiency = Pout/Pin, as 
measured. Pout is the measured operating lamp 
wattage, and Pin is the measured operating input 
wattage. The lamp, and the capacitor when it is pro-
vided, is to constitute a nominal system in accord-
ance with the ANSI Standard C78.43-2004. Pin and 
Pout are to be measured after lamps have been sta-
