Unable to test so sold as is See pics for label details Feel free to ask any questions, thanks! Copied from website: The FUTURE-BRITE Electronic Ballast is designed for all lighting environments. H.I.D. Lighting Systems are widely used in applications where high light levels are desired for large areas, such as commercial and horticultural use, similar to fluorescent lighting systems. All H.I.D. lighting systems require a ballast to operate. Traditionally, coil or magnetic ballast designs were the only options for H.I.D. lighting systems. Today high-efficiency electronic FUTURE-BRITE ballasts improve lighting quality while reducing energy use by 27% to 37%. Reduced Electricity use provides a tremendous cost savings while reducing greenhouse emissions associated with electricity generation which contributes to climate changes. • Power factor is 99% efficient • Silent operation with built-in axial fans for cooling • Can ignite both MH and HS lamps • Built-in short-circuit protection • Improves lamp life by up to 3 times • Constant wattage output - no flickering (stroboscopic effects) resulting in perfect illumination • No startup current • Proven and tested over 200,000 switchings • Weighs less than a seventh of a magnetic core ballast, giving you greater savings in freight costs • Built-in safety features • Built-in fuse protection o Two built-in fuses o Thermal overload protection o Sleep mode for safety • 12 month warranty IC's Mosphet and Diode are made in America Temperature range -40° to 140°F (-40° - 60°C) Run amperage based on 240V input 400W 1.7 amps, 600W 2.2 amps Electronic Ballast Technology New FUTURE BRITE technology offers a quantum leap in metal halide / High Pressure Sodium lumen maintenance. MAGNETIC ELECTRONIC Core & Coil Electronic, microprocessor Mean Lumens Good lighting systems are specified on the basis of mean or average light output of the lamp. This mean is defined as the light output, measured in lumens, at 40% of the lamps rated life. MAGNETIC ELECTRONIC Rated Lamp Life 20,000 hours Mean Calculated @ 40% of rated lamp life 8,000 hours Lumen Maintenance (Output @ Mean) 64% of initial lumens Rated Lamp Life 20,000 hours Mean Calculated @ 40% of rated lamp life 8,000 hours Lumen Maintenance (Output @ Mean) 86% of initial lumens Cost of Ownership - Long Term Savings* While the initial cost of a magnetic ballast is considerably less than a high performance electronic ballast, the overall cost of ownership is much higher. MAGNETIC ELECTRONIC Installing more fixtures means ... Higher installation labor Higher material costs Higher energy costs Install up to 36% fewer FUTURE BRITES Achieve the same light levels Lower cost of ownership Relamping Higher mean lumens push the relamping cycle out for dramatic savings in your maintenance budget. FUTURE BRITE electronic technology extends relamping, yet maintains light levels. MAGNETIC ELECTRONIC Lumen Output (expressed as % of initial lumens @ hours of operation) 64% @ 12,000 hours 44% @ 18,000 hours Lumen Output (expressed as % of initial lumens @ hours of operation) 85% @ 12,000 hours 78% @ 18,000 hours Improved Lumen Maintenance . . . The First Step to Savings The best lighting designers specify maintained rather than initial light levels. Lumen Maintenance With most medium wattage lamps, the published average lamp life is 20,000 hours.
