Fulham
Upgrades Emergency Ballasts to Newest Energy Conservation Standards
Giving Distributors Compliant Fluorescent Options for New
Installations and Retrofits.
Long
Beach, CA, USA -- At Strategies in Light this week, Fulham, a
leading supplier of lighting sub-systems and electronics for
commercial and specialty applications, will display the newest
version of its FireHorse 11 (FH11) and FireHorse 7 (FH7) emergency
fluorescent ballasts, which have been re-engineered to meet
California Energy Commission (CEC) Title 20 specifications. The new
FireHorse ballasts are not only more energy efficient to comply with
Title 20, but they also operate with universal voltage so they can be
installed in virtually any setting.
In
compliance with CEC Title 20, once they are fully charged, the new
FireHorse ballasts consume less than 1W of power in order to sustain
emergency readiness. The FH11 ballast is designed to deliver a
maximum light output of 750 lumens with a minimum illumination time
of 90 minutes on battery power. The FH7 universal voltage emergency
ballast delivers up to 500 lumens for a minimum of 90 minutes.
"While
Fulham continues to be a leader in LED components, we recognize that
our customers will continue to need fluorescent lighting for some
time," said Russ Sharer, Vice President of Global Marketing for
Fulham. "With new energy conservation requirements for Title 20
products, we know both the FH11 and FH7 will be popular with our
distributors. Contractors across the U.S. are looking for more
energy-efficient lighting solutions; in fact, many earn a percentage
of the energy they save. Supporting Title 20 compliance with lower
wattage fluorescents will help everyone, even contractors who don't
install lighting in California."
Like
many of Fulham's LED products, the new emergency fluorescent ballasts
offer universal voltage with input currents ranging from 120 to 277V
A. That means less inventory and lower costs for distributors and
installers, since the units are compatible with more lamps. The units
have an operating temperature between 0 and 55 degrees Celsius (32
and 131 degrees Fahrenheit) and are compliant with UL924, damp-rated,
and field or factory installable.
