One year warranty based on the following conditions:
A. The ballast is in 85°C ambient temperature, put the ballast into the water of the electric cooker and uses
a thermometer to check the 85°C temperature.
B. Smoothly lighting any of those lamps which lamps voltage are from 75V~120V Use AC meter measure
the lamp's two wires to obtain the voltage
C. It will not go out while shaking any of those lamps.
D. And ballast's input current always keep in 3.5A±0.3A state while lighting any of those lamps.
E. If the temperature stand higher than 85°C,if the lighting range is wider up to 75V~150V, and the ballast
still keep in 3.5A±0.3A state,then just like "Hylux" ballast as you can see in the list above,their warranty
will be over 2 years .

1. The range of new lamp's voltage are from 75v ~ 102v ,The lamp's voltage and using hours will become
direct proportion, using hours + turn on/off increases about 10V every 300 hours (about 4 months),
CPU ballast can't monitor the lamp's power so it let the increasing speed faster.After 10 months ,
the lamp's voltage become 100V~ 122V and the electrode of the lamp getting shorter which cause
the lamp unsteady and easy to go out while vehicle's vibrating.
And Hylux's Asic ballast can monitors and maintains lamp's 35W power so it can slower the
increasing speed ,and it will work well even if the lamp's voltage up to 150V, so , One year
or more warranty is easy for Hylux's ballast.

2. HID lamp is 35W so 3.5 A±0.3A input is good (input DC12.4V). If input current is always over 3.9A
then will cause two results as follows :
a. Always over 4A means too much power (>40W) supply to the 35W lamp which is harmful and causes
lamp's voltage increased faster
b. Meanwhile, the >4A bigger current causes the temperature of the ballast's transformer getting higher
over 130°C , this temperature is harmful to the other components and even destroy the ballast at last .
Hylux's ballast supply the fixed 35W power easily lighting the new lamps(75V~100V)or very
old lamps(110V~150V).So Hylux's ballast can prolong the lamp's life over 2 years .
3. In summer time ,the temperature under the engine cover of a car will be 75°C,and ballast itself will
increasey 25~30 °C, so, the total inside temperature of the ballast is up to 105°C, now the CPU
can stand only 85~105°C, therefore CPU ballast's NG return rate is very high in hot weather.
And Hylux ballast uses asic chip which can stand 160°C , always awake in hot weather .
4. According to the data as above ,then we will truly realize which brand's ballast can really offer one or
two years warranty.

a. BSP's ballast can easily light any lamps which lamp's voltage are from 75V~150V,so,prolong the
lamp's life up to 2000hrs(2 years)
b.ZEUS's ballast always keeps 3.5A±0.3A(35W) input current, even the lamp's voltage are 75V~150V.
the ballast's life is over 2 years.
c. ZEUS's ballast uses asic chip which can stand 160°C, and always keep the all functions in good
condition.
d. There are four brand's ballasts use asic chip in the world(Philips, Matsushita, AL in Franch, and Hylux)
Others use CPU or IC groups solutions. The development charge of an asic chip needs US$500,000 ,
Asic chip means : top quality, real-time monitoring, a mature design of
HID ballast.
