Before Ordering - Verify
- The ballast factor is not stated here: the previous listing said 0.88 and called the model PSN-SC, but the Product Name says PSX-SC. In the Sylvania catalog PSX is a 0.71 ballast factor family and PSN is 0.88, so confirm the model and ballast factor on the datasheet.
- Confirm all fixture lampholders are un-shunted before installing.
- Item #51438 is not in the 2012 Sylvania catalog; specifications are carried from the previous listing and should be confirmed against the current Sylvania datasheet.
- Confirm your fixture line voltage matches 120-277V (Universal) before ordering.
- This is a ballast only; lamps are ordered separately.
