Energy-saving fluorescent lamps from Advance Transformer

Advance Transformer has announced the introduction of its exclusive family of Optanium Instant Start Electronic Ballasts with IntelliVolt for operation of the market's broad range of T8 fluorescent lamps, including standard 40-Watt, 32-Watt, 25-Watt, and 17-Watt versions as well as 4-foot 30-Watt, 28-Watt, and 25-Watt energy-saving models.

Combining maximum energy savings with enhanced design flexibility and versatility, Advance's high-efficiency Optanium Instant Start ballasts consume fewer input watts than standard electronic instant start ballasts while offering a broad array of powerful features without compromise.  The new ballasts are currently available to run one to four lamps and are offered in two versions – a standard light output design (.87 Ballast Factor) and a low-watt design (.77 Ballast Factor).  All feature Advance's exclusive IntelliVolt multiple-voltage technology (enabling the ballasts' operation at any input voltage from 120 to 277 volts, 50/60Hz), as well as cold-start capability down to -20F and a low-profile design optimized for today's fixture designs.  The ballasts are UL Type CC rated and operate lamps at a frequency between 42 and 52 kHz to eliminate visible flicker and avoid interference with infrared devices or commonly-used Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) systems.

In addition to the aforementioned features, Advance's Optanium Instant Start electronic ballasts also incorporate anti-striation circuitry, a lamp auto-restrike capability, 20-foot remote mounting capability, and independent lamp operation (ILO), which insures that the fixture will remain partially lit when a lamp burns out.  The ballasts further carry Advance's standard five-year warranty and qualify for Advance's exclusive PLUS 90 Protection, which matches any lamp manufacturer's published lamp-ballast system warranty, plus adds 90 days of additional warranty protection — on both the lamp and ballast.

Highly efficient, particularly when used in conjunction with the market's range of high-lumen, extended-life T8 lamps, Advance's Optanium Instant Start electronic ballasts can help reduce energy consumption by over 45% relative to older systems involving T12 lamps and magnetic ballasts and by 20-30% relative to conventional T8 lamps and electronic ballasts.  Suitable for both new construction and retrofit applications, Optanium Instant Start electronic ballasts represent a maximum-efficiency, high-performing lighting solution for today's general office, retail, and warehouse settings.
