Whether you’re installing a new fluorescent system, or upgrading an old
one, it’s a good idea to pay as much attention to the ballast as it is to the
type of lamps you plan to use.
After all, a high-quality ballast can greatly increase the light output of
your fluorescent tubes, dramatically reduce lighting power costs, save precious
energy, prolong lamp life, reduce lamp end-blackening, and even allow you to use
a wider variety of lamps.
Consider the H & H Electronic H.B.F. 114 ballast, for example. It
will power either one, two, three, or four F32T8 lamps. With its ballast factor of 114,
it will increase the lumen output of a T8 tube by as much as 29%*. Hence, with the H.B.F.
114
ballast, a lamp with a lumen rating of 3050 will actually deliver nearly 3500
lumens!
The Electronic H.B.F. 114 is ideal for:
