(1) Lamp installation available.
(2) High Efficiency ballasts are CEE Listed.
(3) Step-down autotransformer. Allows hook-up of standard MV ballast to 480v.
(4) Occupancy Sensors should be used with programmed rapid start ballasts for maximum lamp life.
Standard Occupancy Sensor requires neutral wired fixtures (ex. -120v or -277v).
For phase-to-phase voltage applications (240v) advise Customer Service at time of request.

500 Lumen ballast is standard for T8. 120 or 277v input only. Advise Customer Service at time of quote for higher lumen rated ballast.

(5)
(6) Standard acrylic prismatic, pattern 12, 0.100” thick. Call for options.
(7) Unless otherwise specified, fixture will include field installed J-box. Supply wires will exit the center of the fixture, not the
access plate. J-box can be installed without entering the fixture.
(8) Allows for separate control of two ballasts through simple “toggling” of a standard wall switch.
Recommend use of programmed rapid start ballast with this control.
