I'm sure everyone who owns an HID has noticed it is very bright the first fragment of a second of startup, and then drops to very low as it builds up to full brightness over the next 20 - 30 seconds.
What is the limitation to correcting slow startup time witn an HID?
I understand what presently happens "I think"
But why can't we fine tune a ballast so that it doesn't drop the voltage so fast and thereby allows the gases to become fully bright "faster'?
Why does the voltage have to drop so far after the initial blast?
I can see it may be heat tolerances verses what amps the batteries can dish out etc, but isn't that a desirable enough feature to be worth pursuing?
Can someone please explain the issues that prevent that from being corrected with our current technology?...
Enquiring minds want to know.....
