Ancient Egyptian makeup For makeup too, the Egyptians had to turn to the natural ingredients that were available at the time. They used henna to colour their hair and to tint their nails, saffron was used as an eyeshadow, burnt almonds were used to darken their eyebrows and they used red ochre for their lips.
A lighting ballast is a piece of equipment required to control the starting and operating voltages of electrical gas discharge lights. Examples of gas discharge light sources include fluorescent and neon lights and high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps.
â¢ A ballast-compatible LED tube light will not work without a working ballast. The life of a ballast is limited. Any good LED. tube light will outlive an electronic ballast. A ballast-compatible LED tube light will require regular replacements for as. long as the tube light lasts. When the ballast fails, a new ballast will need to be purchased and installed to keep the. ballast-compatible tubes working. Multiply this by hundreds of fixtures throughout a facility, and the incurred cost.
