Electrical ballast

Okay, imagine you have a toy car that needs batteries to work. But if you put too many batteries in the car, it will go too fast and crash into things. That's kind of like how some lights work too. They need electricity to shine, but too much electricity can make them too bright and can even damage the light bulb.

That's where an electrical ballast comes in. It's like a regulator that controls how much electricity flows to the light. It helps make sure the light shines evenly and doesn't get too bright or burn out. It's kind of like when you use training wheels on your bike to help you ride without falling over.

So basically, an electrical ballast helps make sure the light works just right by controlling the electricity that flows to it.
