High Efficiency Electronic Fluorescent Ballasts

Description

LAS VEGAS – Lightfair International 2006 Booth #818 – May 30, 2006 – American Ballast, a global commercial and residential power solutions company with worldwide manufacturing capabilities, has introduced a new line of high efficiency electronic fluorescent ballasts. Ideal for commercial office, retail, distribution warehouses, and industrial high bay lighting applications, the T5 and T5/HO electronic ballasts address the need for more efficient and higher light output systems. The ballast design offers tremendous energy savings while providing a better quality of light, and is compatible with many types of lighting control systems.

“These are rapidly becoming the ballast of choice for commercial and high bay retrofit lighting,” said John Clancy, director of sales for American Ballast. “Because they are no longer limited to HID systems, contractors, plant managers or engineers seeking higher lighting efficiency alternatives now have an enhanced fluorescent option.”

Offering an advantage for electrical distributors and large facility operators, all models offer universal input voltage (108-305 volts) resulting in fewer models to stock, thus reducing inventory while ensuring correct output voltage. The T5 group of ballasts also includes products for all linear T5 and T5/HO lamps, including standard and high output options. The T5 product family is ideal for indirect and pendant mount fixtures and helps maintain lamp life with its automatic end-of-lamp-life shutdown feature.

Designed for use in Energy Star® compliant fixtures, the T5 product family meets FCC rules and regulations and ANSI requirements and complies with all applicable state and federal efficiency standards. Through its advanced global technologies and extensive burn-in, full-functional and advanced-life testing procedures, American Ballast confidently offers a 5-year warranty on its T5 product family. All American Ballast lighting solutions are UL and CuL Listed.
