General performance

EB-ECONOMY

In the Asia Pacific region mains voltage fluctuation can
be a daily occurrence affecting the output of fluorescent
lamps and impeding ignition. The
electronic ballasts gives you back control over lighting
conditions. The range is designed to suit the spectrum
of rated mains voltages in the region – from 220-240V,
50 and / or 60Hz – and to handle mains voltage fluctuations
from 216-247V without affecting performance.Additionally,
the lamps will continue to operate well even if mains
voltage drops to 184V or rises to 264V.
