Local Knowledge About Energy Conserving Ballasts

Electronic ballasts set new industry standards for energy efficiency, ballast losses, lumen output, lamp-ballast uptime, lamp warm-up and restrike times, lamp longevity, and maintenance costs. Electronic ballasts show up to 25% savings versus conventional magnetic ballasts. Energy savings of up to 40% can be achieved when continuous dimming capability is used. Additionally, not only is lamp operation more efficient with an electronic ballast, but energy used for lamp re-strikes is also reduced.
