Bodine Arc Keeper - HID Backup Ballasts

ARC Keeper^® HID Backup Ballasts
ARC Keeper®, e-ARC Keeper™ and Arctic ARC Keeper

The Philips Bodine ARC Keeper® family (ARC Keeper® HID Backup Ballasts and e-ARC Keeper™ for 20-39 W Electronic HID Ballasts) is designed to eliminate nuisance downtime in HID metal halide lighting systems and allow HID fixtures to serve as emergency lighting units. ARC Keepers work by preventing the lamp arc from extinguishing during short-duration AC utility power disturbances. No arc loss means no need for the lengthy restrike periods common to HID systems.

ARC Keeper models are available for pulse-start and probe-start lamps (PLS and PRB), extended temperature ranges (Arctic™ ARC Keeper) and low-wattage applications (e-ARC Keeper). ARC Keeper HID Backup Ballasts are ideal for gymnasiums, parking garages, hangars, warehouses and other high-bay installations. e-ARC Keepers are suited to low-ceiling, low-wattage uses such as retail stores and lobbies.
