Recent legislation requires more efficient ballasts
Recent legislation requires more efficient ballasts raising the minimum ballast efficacy factor for T12 fluorescent ballasts. This new standard can only be attained by electronic ballasts. Replace T12 magnetic systems with T8 electronic systems for maximum energy efficiency and comfort. T8 lamps and electronic ballast systems also help eliminate flicker, reduce input wattage, enhance appearance of your environment and improve safety.
