Description

Optanium ballasts for T5 and T8 lamps are part of our effort to promote environmental responsibility through Smart Solutions – energy-efficient products, lighting systems, services, and expertise through Philips Advance branded products. They are also one of the charter products of the NEMA Premium® Ballast Program. All of this makes these ballasts part of an overall high-efficiency lighting system that may help you achieve LEED certification, meet ASHRAE standards, become compliant with California Title 24 Energy Efficiency Standards, or any other local energy code you or your customers need to be in compliance. Optanium ballasts will help you and your customers meet a variety of application challenges including luminaire design, installation, maintenance, and evolving lamp technology. Optanium ballasts are available in standard light output, low-watt, and a high-light output design. Also, these ballasts come in options with cold-starting capability down to -20°F (with standard fluorescent lamps). These two features combined make it ideal for just about any T5 or T8 fixture design and application. These ballasts are available in either instant start or programmed start ignition for extended lamp life in frequent switching applications such as those where occupancy sensors or motion detectors are being used. Optanium ballasts are also available in the program start with parallel wiring.
