The Wacker Neuson Ignitor is a genuine OEM component designed for LTS7K and LTS8K/LTS8L series light towers. As a direct factory replacement, this ignitor delivers the precise electrical output required to reliably strike and sustain the arc in metal halide lamp systems used across these towable and skid-mounted units. Wacker Neuson genuine OEM parts are manufactured to the same standards as the original components, ensuring correct fit and consistent performance across both 50 Hz and 60 Hz configurations. Confirm your model number before ordering — this ignitor covers a wide range of LTS7K and LTS8L/LTS8K variants.
Key Features
- Correct High-Voltage Output: — Engineered to deliver the precise ignition pulse required to strike metal halide lamp arcs — wrong output voltage causes lamp failure or no-start conditions.
- Genuine OEM Part: — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this is the same ignitor installed at the factory — not a substitute or approximation.
- Broad LTS Series Coverage: — Fits LTS7K (50 Hz and 60 Hz), LTS8K, and LTS8L light towers in both trailer and skid-mounted configurations.
- Direct Drop-In Installation: — Connects to the existing lamp circuit without modification, using the same mounting and wiring interface as the original component.
- Electrical Safety Compliance: — Using the correct OEM ignitor maintains proper arc-starting behavior and protects downstream ballast and lamp components from voltage irregularities.
- Restores Full Lighting Output: — A failed ignitor leaves your light tower dark on the jobsite; replacing it with the correct part brings full metal halide illumination back immediately.
An ignitor is the electrical component responsible for generating the high-voltage pulse needed to start a metal halide lamp. Without this initial surge, the lamp cannot strike an arc and will not illuminate. When an ignitor fails or degrades, the result is typically a lamp that flickers, fails to light, or extinguishes shortly after startup — leaving the machine unable to fulfill its primary function of providing work-area lighting. Replacing a faulty ignitor with the correct OEM part restores proper lamp starting and protects the ballast from repeated failed-start stress.
