GE Lighting Luxtrol Magnetic HID Ballast
A traditional magnetic ballast for high-pressure sodium lamps in outdoor street lighting and warehouse applications, providing stable operation for discharge tubes. It matches HTS 8504.10.00.00 due to its core function of limiting current in gaseous discharge lamps. Features high power factor and robust construction for long-term use.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If functioning primarily as an inductor without lamp regulation
Pure inductors without ballast-specific circuitry fall under 8504.50
If for use with fluorescent lamps instead of HID
Fluorescent ballasts are separately provided for under different 8504.40 subheadings
If sold as control boards for industrial panels
Boards with multiple functions beyond lamp ballasting classify under control panels of 8537

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide lamp compatibility charts in import docs; ballasts for non-discharge lamps risk reclassification to 8504.40 static converters
• Ensure labeling indicates 'for discharge lamps only' to prevent misclassification during customs inspection
• Test for energy efficiency compliance under DOE standards, as inefficient ballasts may incur additional regulatory fees
