Advanced Energy Savings
The Quicktronic 50738 delivers between 30% and 60% energy savings when compared to traditional magnetic F34T12 systems. By utilizing the POWERSENSE® dimming technology, facilities can further reduce energy consumption by tailoring light levels to occupancy and daylight availability. This ballast is NEMA Premium rated, qualifying for various utility rebates and meeting the most stringent green building energy codes. Its Parallel Circuitry ensures that if one lamp fails, the remaining lamps stay illuminated, minimizing maintenance urgency.
