American Ballast Develops Efficient T12 Slimline and T12 High Output Electronic Fluorescent Ballast



FREMONT, CA (October 10, 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. Designed to replace magnetic ballasts for T12 and T10 lamps, the light-weight T12 Slimline and T12 High Output electronic ballasts address the need for more high-efficient lighting systems for a wide-range of applications including commercial office, retail, distribution warehouses, and industrial high bay lighting. The ballast design offers significant energy savings over the standard magnetic product.

"Our line of T12 electronic ballast provide a significant increase in ballast efficacy in comparison to the magnetic ballast, which correlates lowering lighting operation costs," said Anthony Mangiaracina, American Ballast director of engineering. "American Ballast has made ballast conversion from magnetic to electronic a simple and easy transition that will provide customers long-term savings."

The T12 product group is offered in a significantly smaller and lighter package with similar mounting and wiring configurations as a T12 magnetic ballast, and is also available with remote mounting capabilities.

The T12 Slimline ballast operates quietly at a high frequency that eliminates lamp flickering. The minimum lamp starting temperature is 0°F (-18°C) and the ballast is potted for cooler operation and longer ballast life.

The T12 ballast 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 five year warranty on the T12 electronic ballast product family.
