It is built into a \u003cstrong\u003epowder-coated black steel case\u003c\/strong\u003e with vents for cooling, has a \u003cstrong\u003ethermal cut-out\u003c\/strong\u003e, and uses a smart ignitor circuit that will not try to fire a lamp that is still hot or faulty. Magnetic ballasts have no electronics to fail and give off no radio interference, which makes them a reliable, low-cost way into CMH lighting and a useful spare to keep on the shelf.
