Retail and commercial applications for the 20-watt UltraMax¨ eHID ballast from GE include display, track, accent, recessed down light and decorative outdoor lighting.<P> "Combining our new low-watt UltraMax¨ eHID ballast with any of our new or existing 20-watt ConstantColor¨ CMH lamps is an ideal solution for energy-saving retrofits or new installations where a major goal is to meet new energy density standards for buildings," says Jeff Plaskon, North America ballast product manager at GE. At 95mm x 40mm x 25.4mm in size, the new ballast is 56 per cent smaller than industry standard 20-watt housings, a change that enables greater flexibility in fixture designs. The 25.4mm width allows customers to design track fixture housings that are flush to the width of the track.

In addition to excellent energy savings and high efficiency, the 20-watt UltraMax eHID ballast:<UL>

  • Operates at 90 per cent efficiency - a 20-watt lamp operates at an ultra-low 22.5 watts
  • Delivers 15 per cent energy savings versus magnetic HID ballasts.
  • Operates cool for increased efficiency and reliability; carries an 80-degrees Celcius rating and five-year limited warranty.
  • Maximizes system performance and lamp life with low-frequency, square-wave operation Improves lumen maintenance versus magnetic ballasts.
  • Reduces visual flicker and enables more consistent lamp-to-lamp color
  • Maintains excellent output regulation with +/- 10 per cent line voltage regulation
  • Is thermally protected and transient protected
  • Meets IEC and ANSI requirements for metal halide systems.</UL> <P> <a href=http://www.ge.com target=resource window><font color=962422> www.ge.com</a> <P>&nbsp;<P> </TD></TR></TABLE> <TABLE height=75 width=600 BORDER=0 bordercolor=000000 CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=3> <TR><TD valign=top align=center bgcolor=E5EAEF> <a href=http://www.thearcshow.com target=resource window><img border=0 src=logo2.gif></a> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <a href=http://switchedonlondon.com target=resource window><img border=0 width=250 src=SwitchedONLogo.jpg></a> </TD></TR></TABLE><P> </TD></TR></TABLE> </BODY></HTML>
