Advance Enhances Popular Family of Matchbox® Miniaturized Electronic Ballasts
(June 29th, 2004 - Rosemont, Illinois) Advance Transformer announces the enhancement of its popular line of Matchbox® miniaturized electronic ballasts to include new High Power Factor models for the operation of a variety of 4-pin compact fluorescent and T5 linear fluorescent lamps at 120V. Optimal in applications where high power factor circuitry is a requirement, the new HPF Matchbox ballasts will operate such compact fluorescent lamp combinations as one or two 7-Watt or 9-Watt twin tube lamps, one or two 13-Watt quad or triple tube lamps, or one 18-watt quad or triple tube lamp, in addition to operating one or two 8-Watt or 13-Watt linear T5 lamps. A new Normal Power Factor Matchbox ballast has also been introduced for the operation of one 26-Watt quad or triple tube lamp.
Lightweight and compact, Advance's HPF Matchbox ballasts are available in two sizes: a version for one-lamp operation (4.4"L X 1.85"W X .94"H) and one for two-lamp operation (5.0"L X 1.85"W X .94"H). Their sleek design makes them ideal for applications involving smaller lighting fixtures, such as those employed for task, ambiance, orientation, outdoor residential, and sign lighting.
