Is SOX lamps have a cooling down period? « on: January 20, 2011, 01:40:40 PM » Author: dor123
In the operating instructions on their online catalog, Osram state that only the SOX 18W can be restarted instantly and all other SOX and SOX-E have several minutes of cooling down period before they can be restarted, like MH and mercury lamps. Is this true?

It may depend on the ballast characteristic - ignition and/or current capability in cold cathode mode (with elevated arc voltage)
