General test setup Shown here is my basic lamp testing setup where a variac feeds the lamp-ballast system to be tested. A power analyzer is connected between the lamp and ballast in order to measure various electrical parameters. In this picture I was testing an Osram HQI-SE 400W/DX designed for an operation on the American S51 400-W sodium lamp CWA ballast. Here the lamp was still in the run up phase, resulting in a light color still dominated by the mercury buffer. Keywords: Miscellaneous

I'd rather like to know more about the power analyser, although it looks rather expensive Confused

You certainly can google its specs, it's a LEM/Fluke Norma 4000, and yes it's certainly not a cheap instrument although I got it for free when my old lab closed down.
