Rosslyn, Va.-based National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) has published BL 2-2009, "Energy Efficiency for Electronic Ballasts for T8 Fluorescent Lamps." The standard was developed by ...
A new standard contains energy-efficiency requirements for evaluating electronic ballasts designed for use with 4-ft, 32-W T8 fluorescent lamps. The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA ...
With the rapid development of high brightness LEDs, SSL (Solid State Lighting) is no longer a niche market. In commercial buildings and department stores LED fixtures are chosen over fluorescents ...
Electronic ballasts for fluorescent lighting deliver high efficiency and long lamp lifetimes. A new and simplified control circuit demonstrates complete control of the ballast, including all necessary ...
In part 1 we discussed rectifying the ballast AC current to DC and we showed an open load protection circuit. Direct replacement of fluorescent tubes with LED assemblies can lead to uneven lighting.
